Since when did handsets go designer? In age when traditional telephone handsets are looked upon with scorn by the wearers of small sleek earphones with mikes; (you know the sort; they walk along the street apparently talking to themselves) along comes a designer with a new range of traditional handsets for mobile phones that are set to buck the trend.
The art of conversation is dead according to Native Union; a partnership of Hong Kong based British and French designers who want to reinvent how we interact with our mobile phones. They are convinced we are slaves to our mobiles, unable to do anything else because we have to hold them all the time. So why not invent a traditional looking handset that attaches itself to our mobile and provides us with crystal clear sound? That way we can look at our phone calendar to check a date, or view emails without having to pausing the conversation. Even Skype or Viber can be then be used just like a traditional telephone when you think about it. Unlike the four previous Moshi Moshi phones on the market, this latest model does not need a base unit. Acclaimed industrial designer David Turpin was tasked with creating a cutting edge design and he came up with an ergonomic handset that can sit tidily on a desk or any flat surface without using a base to hold it.
The Moshi Moshi 05 handset combines classic style with a contemporary edge and is finished with a luxurious black soft-touch or white high-gloss texture. The handset is fitted with a 3.5mm jack which is iPhone compatible, and and when fitted with a USB adaptor (sold separately) can be used for VOIP calls such as Skype Viber or Google Talk.
The MM05 is available from www.nativeunion.com/uk at £24.90
