Here is the Tile, designed by Wataru Igarashi. The description states: "Screens have to be flat - the goal of this design was to break convention and create a distinctive design allowing user-friendliness previously unheard of."

    The future of phone according to microsoft is that their getting BIGGER. On their new Windows Phone website they have the HTC Touch II at a staggering 104" (H) x 55" (W) x 12" (D). Amazingly it still only weighs 110 grammes!

    Form over Function?

    Erm, yes, well. I can't see myself ever considering pulling one these so called phones out of my pocket to answer a call. Still it would give everyone a good laugh. They may at the leading edge of innovative design but in my opinion they are just plain naff!
