PPD Helix

Juniper Foo | Feb 17, 2005

Giving the French the stiff upper lip, the neighborly Brits were spotted at the recent 3GSM World Congress in Cannes unveiling the Helix phone. Still in concept mode, the Helix aspires to raise the bar on clamshell mobiles by being a total multimedia appliance. It will pack at least 20GB of storage space, an OLED display and a 5-megapixel camera. Of course, the Koreans in the next booth must be sniggering since Samsung already has a working 5-megapixel camera-phone out on streets, not to mention being first to market with a hard drive-based mobile. The Helix does, however, feature a unique screen design which swivels on a 180-degree vertical axis when open--something yet to be seen on any phone--though we won't be too surprised if the Koreans steal the thunder again.
