Wacky Wireless Designs: CAFL Picks the Top 5 Most Unusual Cell Phone Designs
Posted on May 25th 2012
This week the CAFL Web Team was rooting around in the office collection of old, forgotten dummy phones and we came across a few styles that never caught on. In the spirit of Wacky Wireless News this month, we wanted to bring you some of the enjoyment these wacky phone designs brought us. Without further ado, here are the CAFL Web Team’s picks for the …
Top Five Most Unusual Cell Phone Designs:

This phone resembles a rotary dial phone popular in the first half of the 20th century. Maybe Nokia, ever the cell phone style innovator, wanted to give this phone a cool retro vibe.
4. Nokia 3200 (2003)
This phone has two major drawbacks. One, the busy design visible under the clear outer shell and two, the fact that two numbers are assigned to one button. The one is also the four and the two is also the five, and so on. This might work for those who don’t like a device with so many buttons, but this is just one of those creative brainstorming ideas that should have been shelved … permanently. This outrageous phone came into the market boasting FM radio and a flashlight.
3. Samsung SGH-P300 (2006)
Many of us use our phones as calculators in a pinch, but this phone design is taking that function just a little too far.

2. Siemens Xelibri (2003)

1. Nokia 7600 (2003)
Not to pick on Nokia again, but what were they thinking? We voted the 7600 "most likely to make us want to use a payphone."
