Trendy People Need This Phone

The Edge phone is designed for the style conscious fashionistas. The name has nothing to do with data speed. In fact we don’t even know what this phone is capable of because as with all fashion phones, looks rein supreme and the Edge phone makes sure you notice with its glowing glass keyboard.

To answer an incoming call, slide the glass keyboard out. An embedded LED illuminates the etched numerics via refraction creating a glowing effect. The only visible lines is the microphone wiring which designer Chris Owens has cleverly disguised as a keyboard border.

hey Jeffrey,

the cell phone that is shown in this article is a work in progress by designer Chris Owens

by going to http://www.ocell.net/ and clicking on design portfolio you can find out more on this trendy phone

also, many of the article yankodesign and works in progress or just renders of products designers come up with so, just like this phone, are not real products on the market, and may never be.

hope this helps,
Josh

I like this phone. My current phone is for calls and texting. I use a computer for internet access and I take pictures with my camera. Anytime phones get packed with a multitude of features, it reminds me of a Swiss Army knife: it can perform a multitude of features, none of them really well. I just want a phone whose main purpose (calling) isn’t diluded by unecessary junk. And the fact that this phone is nice to look at doesn’t hurt either.

I’d cry if I ever saw one of these babies get dropped, whether or not it was mine.

looks very nice… i drop too many phones though. if its not outrageously priced, it’d be a good lil’ product

Cool design, they need to make the keypad area a mini wacom to allow for more functionality if they wanted to extend its potential features.

finally. a phone that’s just a phone, and yet isn’t butt-ugly.

too bad it’ll never be made…

it looks like it would break easily, so probably not for me. but as a fashion item it is very stylish.
