Sony Ericsson "Bao" bows in lame spy shot form

by Chris Ziegler posted Jul 6th 2009 at 2:52PM

If you allows us to transport you back for a moment -- way back -- to the world of QVGA cameras and parachute pants, you'll be in the right mindset for these awfully low-res shots of an alleged Sony Ericsson "Bao" flip that seriously turns the geometry dial up to 11. Little is known about the phone -- it could be a long-canceled project, for all we know -- but it definitely diverges significantly from the usual SE industrial design cues. Whether that divergence is for the better for worse is a matter of personal taste -- but in terms of market success, maybe these guys should hit up Nokia for some pointers.

That phone clearly belongs on the set of Battlestar Galactica.

Thanks for posting this! It actually looks like the Nokia Prism but I'm not sure if this benefits to it. It's not that exciting at all...

We wrote an article about Bao and Twiggy too. If you're interested visit our blog.
