The cell phone design we all know and love might be changing drastically in the near future. 180 degrees difference actually. A patent has been field for this upside down design, which is supposedly more convenient and comfortable for longer sustained periods of use.
The new design would place the keypad above the display screen to ensure that the majority of the phone rests in the palm of the users hand which should improve control and support.
The redesign of the thumb-rest also means no more shifting the phone around in your hand for one handed texting. The ultimate goal? Faster texting with more comfort. — Andrew Dobrow
