The Edge Phone
References: design.ocell.net & yankodesign
The Edge Phone, with its fashion-oriented design and glowing glass keyboard, uses light and touch technology to target the style-conscious fashionistas. To answer an incoming call, simply slide the glass keyboard out. An embedded LED illuminates the etched numerics via refraction creating a glowing effect. The phone is stylishly minimal and the only visible lines is the microphone wiring which is cleverly disguised as a keyboard border. The Edge Phone is designed by Chris Owen.
