A cell phone with rearrangeable keys!

It’s nice to see that the mobile phone market is developing as each day passes by. However, this is something unique, something that I haven’t seen so far. The picture on the left shows a cell phone phone whose keys can be re-arranged, as in a puzzle game.

It’s called GMEA and it’s being described as “the first ever real game phone” (GMEA are the initials of that phrase in Russian). It’s not barely close to N-Gage or a Nintendo DS, but the base idea is very innovative. Let’s talk about the slogan for a few. Upon reading, you would expect some fantastic games with terrific gameplay inside. Wrong. It’s not the phone that has the games, it’s the actual phone that IS the game, and let me tell you why.

The concept is quite simple. The phone’s keypad is interactive and the buttons are extremely movable. It’s just like in that little logic game, where you had a square full of random numbers and you had to put them in order, by sliding one number square at a time into the empty space. Just so that you don’t forget where each key’s right spot is, the right positions are marked underneath so that you can move them back to their original place. Apart from this special ‘ability’ this phone has that can probably keep you busy for hours and hours, it comes in a slim case and looks pretty good too.

It’s creator is a Russian designer called Dima Komissarov, and the project will be only a concept for quite a while, most likely.
