Its design reflects human connectivity in a less material/mechanical, more sensual, way. Tarati is a subtle device, but ever-so-powerful in its fearlessness.”

This mobile really gives a magical experience in dialing option,as this type of improvement in the mobile technology should be encouraged for future development. But some drawbacks in this type of phones makes it less popular.

…. I can see a lot of mistake calls being made on this device… If a kid got a hold of it, your bill would sky rocket and you’d have a lot of angry people.
Also the ergonomics of the design are questionable; the user would have to put effort into putting their finger through each hole, which requires more body motions, and ultimately become exhausting over a period of time.
And sure, the holes are labeled, but you have to be looking from a particular vantage point to even see them, otherwise you cant tell what hole is what.

Should have spent more time designing something that really solves a human problem, think context , Truly observe people and how they use there phones, just cause you put a hole in something dose not make it more ergonomic or even intuitive for users. By putting holes through 90% of the form there is no longer room for display which is something users want more than some shwanky key interaction. The form language is static (e.i Grid pattern) no real thought to how it could resonate with users on visual level, no flow or elegance. Very poetic description but the design should be able to speak for itself without any marketing included:)
