No man they’re great! A more Japanese / Star Wars inspired design I have never seen! That 7280 looks so much like a light saber hilt it’s ridiculous. I can just imagine it hanging off Yoda’s belt…can’t you?
Actually on closer inspection it’s pretty obvious what the target audience for the 7280 phone is. Do you think it’s any coincidence it looks and works like a lipstick case? You answer calls by sliding it open and end them by clicking in shut evidently.
One would probably need to be (at least) metrosexual to appreciate them.
