Phone gets Transformer treatment
Damian Koh | Jul 13, 2007
With the Transformers movie a hit on the big screen, inspiration is emerging from the woodwork, including this concept phone which "more than meets the eye".
Transformers, robots in disguise? How about mobile phone in disguise? Even Decepticon numero uno Megatron would be taken by surprise by what seems to be an innocuous-looking mobile phone. Until it transforms into a gun-smoking bot.
The brainchild of some Korean chappie (since no credit is given and everything's in Korean text), this amazingly cool mobile bot is, of course, hatched from within a video-editing lab. And despite our best efforts, it's impossible to make out what the brand and model is.
Still, be warned. This video is addictive. It shows a short 18-second clip of the clamshell camera-phone suddenly unfolding into something resembling an AT-ST combat walker and using its big cannons to tattoo the words "Parkoz" onto the desktop.
We'd love to have one of these little monsters in our Labs, though it's quite safe to assume that this thing won't hit the production lines anytime soon.

Hey miya, we just checked. The link works fine on our Internet Explorer.. The clip requires you to have ActiveX installed so that could be the problem

It doesn't look like the Samsung SCH-B410 to me because that model has three music playback keys on the top but the one in the video doesn't.. hmm..

eh..sorry.. it was the wrong model... but still.. if u look closely.. under the LED flash light, those r music controls... SCH-B250 is the correct model.. might had overlooked the model name when posting... sorry.
