Turn the cell over

Turn the cell phone on its head. Put the keypad at the top and the display at the bottom. Easier to hold and dial. No more thumb cramps.

Given the amount of silly gimmicks used to sell us phones I'm surprised this hasn't been done already.

and when you're typing something on the keypad your hand "doesn't" cover the screen?

Doubt it, not the way my thumb works.

Ohh... that's how you got the idea for a screenless phone.

absolutely brilliant! ... except for what [shinobi] said ...
