The Nokia Kinetic isn't just a sleek
concept phone. It's a sleek concept phone that raises itself up into a
standing position when a call comes in. Huh? Inside the Kinetic is an
electromagnet that can shift weights in the curved base, causing the
phone to tilt upright on cue, that cue being an incoming call.
Telemarketer again? Tap the phone to decline the call and it'll fall
back down. It's intended to be a playful feature, though I can see it
being useful in a quiet office where even vibrating phones are sometimes
an irritant to others. More images after the break...
The Kinetic's pretty clever, though designer Jeremy Innes-Hopkins will have to do some serious convincing if anyone's going to go for the bulbous form factor of this thing.
