As you can see, the first thing I did here was to show you what the phone looked like before I even wrote a thing about it. This is to show you (from a design perspective) that the phone really is simple. No touchscreen, bluetooth, GPS, WiFi, camera, or any other modern smartphone feature is included with this device. Heck, it does not even support text messages. So why would we want such a cellphone?

At first glance, John’s Phone looks — awful. It kind of reminds me of a remote control, or jacuzzi operator with the numbers symbolising what setting you want it on.

But I wonder, what market does this phone aim at? It is said to be the size and weight of a deck of cards, meaning it is relatively easy to hold. Therefore, it could potentially be for the elderly or visually impaired with its larger than normal buttons and easy access of different slider buttons on either side. Unfortunately, it does not come with an ‘aimed at’ sticker, but I’m sure the price will either make or break it.

For John’s ‘worlds simplest smartphone’ er, Phone, you are looking at €70 – €100, which depends upon the model you choose. A list of which can be found on the John’s Phone website.

Conclusion – To be honest, you can see I’m not impressed. But you can get more of an idea how the phone operates via Engadget who have an in-depth review for you to look at. We also have embedded the video below. Tip: they don’t like it either! Simple? Yes. Effective? No. My opinion – Miss.

For the record, you can get yourself a 3G featured-phone for that exact same price from numerous manufacturers in the smartphone industry. Check out the Nokia C2-01 and X2-01 for example.

The image is just a concept, therefore subject to change, however if this concept turns out be pretty accurate it will feature a 2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, also its display will have a resolution of 240 x 320.

The most noticeable thing about this handset is that it looks as if it will feature a rotating display, this will allow you to rotate the screen by 90 degrees, when rotated a split QWERTY keyboard will be revealed, check out the image at the end of this post to see the concept.

I think the concept looks pretty good, but having never used a split QWERTY keyboard its hard to say whether it will really work in the ‘real world’, also I cant help but feel disappointed that the handset’s screen resolution is so low, not only this but a 2 megapixel camera is seriously outdated.
