3GSM - 01 - A Day Full of Phones
My day at the conference hadn't even started that I was already holding the first 'alien' phone in my hands. Below is the Siemens SK65 which sports a very interesting and quite functional swivel keyboard. A very well designed and elegant phone that also includes built-in Blackberry Connect. The screen though absolutely sucks.
Below I had a chance encounter with what is apparently the world's smallest and lightest 2.5G phone which weighs only 45 grams and is manufactured by a Korean company called Newgen.
A UK based design group called PDD had two 'concept phones' on display. One ultrathin that reminds me of the new candy bar style RAZR that I saw last week. The second demonstrates a 'display via glasses' using (presumably) Bluetooth or similar technology.
Another concept design by PDD seen circulating on the web last week. This one sports a rotating display which turns as you flip the phone open. I'm still not convinced about the usability of this but it was neat to see something entirely new.
Lastly, I couldn't help but wonder at this 'stick' phone from a Chinese company called Haier. I wouldn't mind having a home phone with this form factor.
Treonauts enjoy seeing what the aliens are up to...
