Like something out of a Blade-meets-Matrix frankenmovie, designer Christina Tapp's Art Nouveau phone is a sleek, curvy beauty that apparently serves a functional purpose as a phone. Since it isn't real, I don't have to worry about wiping my drool off of its scrolling LCD front panel (as long as I'm dreaming, why not make it OLED?) or losing it in the couch cushions. Another cool pic after the jump.

Props to Ms. Tapp on a true piece of art. Hit up her portfolio for her other avant-garde creations. -Karson Thompson

If it works anything like their landline phones, don't go anywhere near it. I-t g-i-v-e-s v-o-i-c-e i-n-s-t-r-u-c-t-i-o-n-s e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y, a-n-n-o-y-i-n-g-l-y s-l-o-w-l-y l-i-k-e i-t-'-s t-r-y-i-n-g t-o k-e-e-p y-o-u o-n-l-i-n-e f-o-r a-s l-o-n-g a-s p-o-s-s-i-b-l-e. Urgh!

ahh sorry, make a model and try it your self.. exactly how easy is it to type in your numbers and look at what your typing...since the screen is on the top.. it would be very awkward..

props for thinking panasonic would actually go creative..(they wont)
