Samsung launches the world's first mobile phone featuring an 'Optical Joystick Phone.Users utilize the optical joystick key by placing their finger and moving a cursor to navigate through the menu, similar to a cursor of a mouse on a PC.
ESATO NEWS
Optical sensors will read and react to users finger movement, thus breaking down the traditional four-way menu navigation and providing 360 degrees of freedom.

I think its great, it will be a change from D-pads and joysticks. If this idea is good maybe SE will adapt it to their phones. |

I don't see much point in the optical joystick anyway. It's hard controlling your mouse via keys, let along one on a 2" screen.

it's probably easier if you use the thumb to navigate. |

Actually it's just like turning your mouse over and navigating like that.
Still, I think the trackball is a better option instead of this (Blackberry Pearl).

its a nice idea but as boba has said it, it would be pretty hard to navigate on a crowded bus or on a train.
