Tired of the old style mobile handsets that are either in a basic candy bar form with a touchscreen or keypad or the flip phone clamshell devices and even those sliders that either slide the keypad downward or sideways? Then we could be in for a break. According to reports a Brazilian designer who’s made a name for himself designing rather unique devices for various purposes has put forward his concept of the possible form factor for the mobile phone segment.
Fabio Dabori has designed what’s being called the HOOK concept that takes the standard candy bar form and adds a little... hook like system to the design. The HOOK concept is designed to be a keypad locking system. The idea is to do away the two buttons, press to hold unlocking or locking system that handsets come with.
The HOOK will also be designed, according to the reports, to hold the microphone so that when it’s open it’ll be closer to the speaker’s mouth so the ridiculous practice of holding the phone’s mic to the mouth while talking should become history.
I’ll admit it’s an off beat concept but would it really work? Let’s hear your thoughts. Follow the bouncing thread on our forums or leave us your comments.
