that's not really a feasible design, the whole touchscreen for a keypad is a receipe for disaster, touchpads just can't stand up to the abuse a cellphone keypad is put through. the thickness would also be a huge problem. I read a great article in Mobility a couple months ago about the huge pain in the ass it was to cram all the required electronics into the RAZR phone. Everything from super high-strenght casings to superstrong glass and plastics, getting a screen that size in there plus a camera, and a wheel AND another screen would end up making that phone at least 1" thick.

Apple should stay the hell away from cellphones. Lisence the wheel interface to Motorola and let the professionals have at it.

cool concept as already mentioned

I like my rokr

itunes.. 512mb .. then you can compress movies into like 80mb with a program and have 5 movies on your phone, turn it sideways to watch it widescreen haha yesss!!

It is pretty interesting, I bet that video fooled a lot of people.

holy god i want one!

oh...and what wonderfully ironic lyrics iñ the commericlas song.

[cubed]

hey prozie, what are the dimensions on it?

is it a comfortable size or is it a brick?

[prozac]

^It's larger than the average phone but it's still like a phone-size-and-shape so it's comfy to use. Not like a weirdly dimensioned blackberry or something. I'm a headset-whore anyways.

Dimensions - 108 mm x 59mm x 23.7 mm

If anyone's going to buy one, you better get it from me. :)

[P.A.R.T.Y]

Holy Christ your phones are boring. Check out my new cell, it's the new Sony walkman W42s with 1 gb of sony memory, 1.3 mp camera/video, up to 4 gb memory card, fm tuner, voice recorder, internet, tv progamming, etc, etc. Sorry, only in Japan.

[prozac]

so how does that make mine boring?

[decypher]

Prozac that phone is wicked, it has everything i want. I'd almost be inclined to buy it from you but the one and crippling downfall is it is Telus. Most of the world uses GSM and i don't think they have CDMA in England and through europe right? bah.

[prozac]

yeah you're right.

there's pros and cons to both types of network though

sure you can use GSM all over the world...and sometimes it's cheaper to just buy a SIM card instead of a new phone...but it's actually more expensive to run in a country like Canada because you need more towers to cover a smaller area (that's why you'll find a marked difference in reception with telus vs rogers phones), and if your CDMA phone gets lost or stolen, you stand a far greater chance of having it returned, because it becomes useless to anyone else once it's flagged stolen.

but yeah, if you want to take it travelling, CDMA is not the best choice.
