The Ion mobile phone was designed to get rid of the usual multi-functional smart phone features and takes things back to the old-school ways with only three functions.
Designed by Sacha Bruk and Michael Burger, the Ion mobile phone concept can be used in phonebook mode, calling mode, and standby mode. While the phone is in phonebook mode, it turns to a 90 degree angle for easy reading.
Ion is also designed with a scroll wheel to allow for easy navigation.
