New Mobile Phones Showcased

Posted by timothy on from the future-approaches-on-little-cat-feet dept.

An anonymous reader writes: "This is a report at VR-Zone showing many new and upcoming models of mobile phones with features like color LCDs, GPRS and digital cameras built-in from major Telco companies like NTT DoCoMo, Panasonic, Kyocera, Samsung and Sony Ericsson. 3D Graphics animation software design houses for example discreet, NewTek and Alias|Wavefront and video editing card manufacturers like Pinnacle and Canopus have their booths there too." There are too many links to list here separately, but I especially liked the pictures of products from NTT DoCoMo and Sony Ericsson.

    Seems like it's the same phones from the last time slashdot had a new phone article.


    Huge freakin' phones that do way more than I want a phone to do. Video/pictures/color...etc.


    Give me a phone that calls someone with great sound/voice quality, and can fit in my pocket without me knowing it's there. That's all I want.

    I guess that all those idiots driving around with a phone glued to their ear are not obnoxious enough. We are now have to put up with more idiots looking into ridiculous, teeny-weeny screens instead of watching the way they go.

    As a bike commuter and road user, i hate these things. Anything that takes away a drivers concentration from what he is supposed to be doing (piloting a vehicle with more kinetic energy than a bullet) is generally not a GoodThing(tm).

    Adding more features simply adds to the problem.

    And for all you too cool users that say "Oh, *I* can drive just as good with my SuperZoomie hands free thing"...try it with a driving simulator sometime. Crank up a NASCAR game, and try to have a meaningful phone conversation while winning the race. Which happens first? Either you give up the phone conversation, or you crash.

    Problem is, on the road, there is no reset. You merely die.
