Sharp unveiled a new smartphone at CES 2008 that largely went unreported. Looking at the new Sharp PV250, I can understand why. As well as a plethora of weak features (1.3 megapixel camera on a smartphone, for example), it comes with a bizarre swivelling LCD screen that lets you view the screen in horizontal or vertical format.
More pics after the jump.
Unfortunately, when you switch it to vertical, the screen obstructs the keyboard. So it’s only use is…um…nope, can’t think of a single use for it! I know mobile phone manufacturers like to push the boundaries of a mobile phone’s form factor, but I think this is taking things a bit too far. If you’re gong to make weird-looking phones, at least give them a purpose!
