Eclipse Phone Takes Minimalist Approach

Dec 28 2006, 3:00pm CST | by Shane McGlaun

The Eclipse is one really cool looking phone, even if it is a mere concept right now. I use a Razer and for all the things it can do about all I use it for is to place calls. If this Eclipse phone at least offers Bluetooth (that is assuming it ever gets made at all) I would use it.

The phone sports a sliding LCD screen that tucks into the phone body when not in use. The LCD is black and white as well, who needs that fancy pants color crap? One day when phone web browsing doesn’t suck I might feel differently about all the extras on my phone, but for today I just don't use them.I’ll stick to my laptop for web browsing and give me a small and simple phone that just calls and connects to my Bluetooth headset. Honestly, that’s all I really want and I bet there are lots of other people out there just like me. I don’t need no stinking camera phone. Story and image via Sci Fi Tech
