Samsung SCH-S310 3D motion phone

Juniper Foo | Jan 18, 2005

Ever felt like showing a certain finger and cursing at the other party for an unreasonable demand? Nothing like a phone that now lets you thwack it any which way to end a call. Or even shake it vigorously in frustration to mute it while you accompany your animated gestures with equally animated language. Samsung, by now a master of innovation in the mobile battlefield, has rung up a handset using 3D motion detection as its user interface. The next generation is reportedly going to be far more advanced, with games controlled by movement of the phone instead of a joystick, and automatic adjustment of photos taken with a shaky hand. Simply lovely, save for the fact that, like its Japanese neighbors, this Korean is keeping its best and coolest ideas at home. No fair.
