Here is a review, on mobileburn, of an interesting looking device:
http://www.mobileburn.com/review.jsp?Id=547&source=BROWSER
It has a couple of interesting features, including changing between portrait and landscape view simply by rotating the device, a motion sensor works it all out and changes the screen to fit! Pretty nifty, i must say.
Has anyone used one, or can tell me more about it? Particularly, UK availability? Would like try one out, looks interesting. I get the feeling it will be a while before we see one though...

They are a Finnish company, and there are a couple of bright, envelope-pushing ideas in this device. Their website:

Oh wow they finally got it running...When you want to scroll with this phone you just TILT it down or up and it moves the screen, absolutley brill. It was supposed to come out the same time as the P800 (hence the outdated design).. |

We had a long thread about it sometime back, micheal. Apparently, we have to tilt to scroll and when we rotate, the letters still remain horizontal. And the device's menu can be changed like portrait and landscape modes. Search for it. The heading was changed so you will find it. What sparked it all was when some1 sold a proto piece on ebay.

I dont think it looks ugly. I kinda like the looks of it. It has some interesting features.
Wonder if they are available.
I tried sniffing coke once but didnt like it. The bubbles kept going up my nose  |
