The Matrix Phone (a new one!!)

frawgz

I have trouble even stomaching the idea that they would use this as a prop in The Matrix. It's so thoroughly nasty, it would look out of place anywhere.

Is it just me, or are those images bradbower linked to not showing up? Maybe their site no likey the linky.



I'll stick 'em on my iDisk.

I like it! I also have the first 60 something episodes of Robotech on DVD, a 12" figure of the Silver Surfer on my desk next to a cut crystal bowl full of lego

Hmm... well the ad itself certainly grabbed my attention, made me more pumped about the movie itself...



But as for the phone, yeah it does look pretty ugly. I'd much rather have whatever phone Morpheus used in the original.

I want one!!!!



To beat the designer of it over the head with.

All the tec of todays phones, made to look like a pice of shit 1990 Motorola.

What's the tagline on the add going to be? how about "because nobody steals a shity phone"



I read the article. The point about the Nokia's 8110 mised the entire fact that the phone was not crap.

Well they didn´t cut it out, at least not from the game.



See the game trailer and go to 1:24.

It reminds me of some little phaser or communicator the Star Trek people used in #4, the Voyage Home. "Scotty...NOW would be a good time!"

Oh good lord..

The phone will have 65K+ color TFT LCD screen, 40 polyphonic ringtone, automatic sliding earpiece utilizing piezoelectric motors (opens and closes with one touch of the button on the side). It's believed this might start out as a US exclusive only.

I wonder if they hired the same guy who designed this:

Yeah, it's dated and overused, but that just makes it all the more perfect for this phone.
