Most people can't remember a single phone number anymore, but the Raymond Bessemer 'Samsung Jot' cellphone brings back the dynamism of dialing. With a colorful LED display and a rotary number wheel, the user can register each digit the old fashioned way from a piece of 2015 technology.
Set to launch in a few years' time, the Bessemer 'Samsung Jot' backtracks for people who are unhappy with the impersonal character of the contemporary cutting-edge. With a detachable stylus, it allows for text and numbers to be scribbled on the phone's face, which can be stored away as well as any other mobile phone, should you prefer to make a call using a single button.
