I give designer Carl Hagerling an A for effort with this new gadget. The WakeUpPhone has all of the same features as your normal phone (camera, music, etc.), but the device’s uniqueness stems from its intended use.
Built to be an alarm clock that calls people, rather than a phone with an alarm clock, the WakeUpPhone is designed to sit up with the time facing you with buttons to control the alarm clock readily accessible.
