Most mobiles out there (with the exception of the iPhone) either feature large displays or large keyboards, but never both. The Blackhole Phone is a texting-lovers dream, as it provides users with ample display areas and large-sized keyboards.
With the Blackhole Phone, users read text messages on one side that features a full-screen display and flips over to reveal and a complete keypad with a smaller display to write text messages. The mobile uses motion-sensing technology, much like the one used on the iPhone, to detect when the phone is being flipped over.
