[goodtimes5]

That's the worst thing I've ever seen. Looks like a children's toy.

LOL behave yourself young man!

[katie ta achoo]

Mmmmm....that phone is making me think sinful thoughts. :(

:confused:

sinful thoughts = buying 15 to replace it over and over when it keeps breaking, and by the time it actually exists, I'll be CFO of the company that sells it so I'll be totally rich?

I love sinful thoughts!

Yes, Katie, exactly. ;)

No LCD display, no OS... NO DEAL...

[gekko513]

The shape and colors are quite Apple like, but Apple wouldn't make it like that, because that thing is just confusing.

[homerjward]

No LCD display, no OS... NO DEAL...
the entire thing IS an lcd display :eek:
it's a touchscreen with virtual buttons.
that phone is such a beautiful thing but i cant help but wonder how practical it is...

[katie ta achoo]

Yes, Katie, exactly. ;)


Ok. Just checking.


...now, GO BUY THIS PHONE!!

*muahahhaha!*

Ooooooh... :o ... Damn! Then thats one ******* interface... Ew... And lets not go into accidental button presses... And on top of that, scratches...


Maybe it should look just like the nano, and instead of a scroll wheel, a number pad... :confused:

[Dr. Dastardly]

Why cant anywhere other than east Asia get any type of cool phones. I know this isn't a real phone but cant we ship the design of a Talby to the US or something.

Or must we keep an untold monopoly on ugly @$$ phones.

Oh and the phones that do look moderately ok cost somewhere in the range of $600. A good design shouldn't cost THAT much.

[rainman::|:|]

Presumably the graphics will get a lot better once they let an artist take a crack at it... perhaps a little better layout... and then, damn, i want one.

Apple was beat to the punch with the cell phone. They waited too long and then this came.

now let's see if it actually hits the market...

[Koodauw]

It has to be if it could survive being run over by the ugly train a couple hundred times.

looks like a pile of **** to me.

[mac-er]

looks like a pile of **** to me.

Steaming at that.

Horrible. <going to poke eyeballs out>

[MacNoobie]

That is the most fugly thing I've seen so far.

If Apple and Moto put that out I'd be forced to sue them for having to gouge my eyes out.

Thanks alot!

[savar]

Whoever said it will get better looking when they let an artist get a crack at it--it was already designed by an artist! That explains why its so impractical. Is that a color screen? Why not put a splash of color in the interface, and why is the number up at the top in circles? It looks totally ridiculous.

The concept is cool, though, and I've wondered if Apple will make a device that's all LCD, and implement the scroll wheel using touch sensitive TFT.

By the way, did anybody read this part?

The battery is charged by a wireless means: the phone should just be laid on a special pad connected to the electricity supply network (the SplashPower technology).

Another cool idea, but how safe is this to be living/working/sleeping around? I wouldn't want it on my nightstand, thats for sure.

If it IS safe, then how come we're not getting this feature on everything?

[savar]

This phone looks much cooler to me:

I doubt the integrity of these design "awards"...however. One is for a makeshift plastic spoon. Here's a bottle opener:

I have a $1.50 bottle opener on my keychain that does that, thank you. And it even looks cooler than that one.

[joepunk]

I'd get that phone mixed up with the remotes for my portable DVD player and car CD player.

[Deepdale]

oh if only the ROKR looked like this, i'd have even bought the lady next door one!

You must be very fond of your neighbor ... any pics of her? :)

[watcher2001]

Sorry but that is the ugliest phone I have ever seen.. Lets just build the iTunes package into the razr and make everyone happy.:)

[macOSX-tastic]

that phone just confuses me. i cant tell where buttons end and screen begins! or is that the point? :confused:

i think an apple phone would have to have the general nano shape, but with the buttons being perfectly round and the same colour/texture as the ipod clickwheels. a mini clickwheel at the top as a navi-button. i dont have photoshop, but im sure it can be done by someone on these forums, to make my dream come true! they can offer it in white or black.

oh and apple.....dont let motorola make it, for god's sake!!!

[iGav]

Looks pukka to me.
