This tiny four button phone is not too much longer than a match stick. It's very sleek, although the fashion benefit will cost you a little extra time to figure out how to dial. Don't expect to find this at Best Buy just yet. The design comes from BloodRabbit, a member of the Product Design Forums.
Implications - It is actually fairly simple to operate, although it will definitely make you think a lot harder than normal. On the 123 button, to dial one you move it to the left, press straight down for two and move it to the right for three. the other numbers also follow in the same manner.
