How cool is the Light Phone, John's Phone, that whole
stripped-down-phone thing?
...but sadly, they stripped back too far. Making and
receiving calls is NOT the minimalist function of today's
phone. Today, for me, texting is more important and
more basic function of my phone than calling.
So, with LiteFone+ you can do either, and nothing else.
OK, there's a clock. but that's IT.
It looks just like the Light Phone (out-appling Apple in
white sparseness, impressive), but thicker (to accomodate
keyboard). It sports a Nokia 5150 resolution LCD behind
1/8" thick plexi. It works great in blazing sunlight, and a
Treo-clone keyboard. (GOD how I miss that genius key
shape! I was so much faster and more accurate on that
thing).
I'm not sure if these are good ideas, but maybe...
1. solar panel on the back surface. Leave the thing on your
windowsill and forget it.
2. Sandbender (extremely flattened aluminum cans and
driftwood) because goddammit I am still waiting for that
style in mobile devices.
