Gorgeous phone. Stunning quality, and beleive it or not, once you are used to the buttons and shape, making a phone call ia a very fluent action.

Too expensive though.

$1300 approximatelly :O

I scratch my head as to why it is this much.

Style over substance? The first time I saw this I thought it looked cool but a little dated. For some reason it reminds me of tech prototypes from the 1980's.

Other than that the feature list disappointed me. Funny, until this article I never noticed the 2 column number pad haha

Btw what happened to the magazine cover??? Was the half naked guy too much for gizmodo? This isn't gonna help in attracting the girls ;P

i have this phone. my opinion on it vary depending on what mood im in. the phone itself is pretty cool looking, sits up straight on its charger, magnetically sort of stands in place when u put it down. the keys being 2 digits in a row in stead of 3 digits in a row like all other phones is wierd at first, but when u get used to it, its pretty fast. the phone's buttons and controls work amazingly well when u get used to it. i flip through the phonebook or look at the last person called at light speed. grievances with the phone however, no speaker phone (major downer for me) no way to change the ringing tone. its programmed with one tone, and u cant change it. how incredibly un cool.

Who cares about making calls with this thing after seeing a lesbian pr0n in which the phone made a guest appearance. Instead of making calls, the girls figured out a better use for it.

I don't know about your choice of a favourite. I work ina hospital filled to the brim with those things, and maybe they are the roiginal 1986 versions, but they break all the time. You can hardly make a single call without one problem or another. I have grown to hate them with a passion.

Maybe it's one of those things that actually look better in flesh than in a picture...
Or a specially prepared product shot that requires viewers to squint and hold at an arms length to actually have appeal.

All I see is an ugly stick hit by a preceeding ugly stick.

No, Mr. Hsu is correct. I stared at the phone for neigh on 30 minutes and I still don't understand how to dial it.

Are you supposed to press the button actually labled with the number you want to enter or one of the adjacent ones? Maybe you don't push anything? You just shake the phone wildly over your head? It's totally unclear. It'll be years before you master this phone. How do you get all time back, man? HOW??

Every time I see this phone I get that damn 'Bananaphone' song stuck in my head. Curse you, Raffi!

I guess I give this phone credit for being different. But then handicapped people are different too...
