B&O Phone
This morning I bumped into an old friend at the Village Bagels. He is one of the hippest product designers I know and he is currently working on his ‘dream assignment’. A top secret project to design a new phone.
And that is all he can tell me really.
But ever since he started working on this project he has been showing me new phones. Every time we meet he is testing and reconstructing another one. So today he brought a brand new B&O phone for me to play with.
I showed him my Blackberry Curve and he looked at it with medical precision. He can tell you something about every detail, the type of plastic used and how the tactile experience is compared to any other phone.
The B&O is one of the weirdest phones I have ever played with. Everything is NOT in the place you expect it to be. You pick it up and then you are holding it upside down. You want to take a photo and instead of seeing what is in front of you you see the palm of your hand, to the left.
I’ll stick to my Blackberry Curve.

B&O are always creating amazing objects though this phone is not what I prefer of them :D
I have a pair of old B&O speakers, 20 years old and still a crystal crisp sound. That is truely amazing.
And if you have the chance to try their Beolabs 5…Its worth going to one of their rare shops :-)
