It may be hard for some users to get used to this new construction, but I’ve always wondered why cell phones haven’t been more innovative in terms of how they look. Land lines come in such variety, from Elvis phones to phones shaped like Cadillacs. For all the innovative technology inside of them, cell phones still all come in basically the same sort of design. I’m curious as to whether this phone can be reversed. It might make sense, for instance, to have it one way up for text messaging, and turned another direction for calling. If left the other way round, I can foresee problems in terms of accidentally hitting buttons during a conversation. Perhaps this could be circumvented, though, if the keys were locked during a call.
