Winning Packet-Phone Concept Is A Bad One

May 14, 2008 in Handsets

We have to give Emir Rafat, designer of the Packet Phone, credit for his innovation. The fact is, it is hard to be innovative when the best devices are kept ultra simple with a touch screen and nothing more. We credit him for his creativity and imagination.

But if his concept were reality it would spell disaster. i mean, cmon, how much more inconvenient can it be to use your mobile?

Want to type on your full QWERTY keyboard? No problem. Just swing open the packet which has the wing span of a freakin Pteradactyl and peck away at the keyboard which isn’t even organized in QWERTY fashion.

It won 1st place at an Istanbul Design Week contest and again, we realize it’s just a concept and credit the creator for going out on a limb, but somebody had to say something.
