Upside Mobile Phone Design

A patent has been filed for the design of a mobile phone with the keypad positioned above the screen - considered more ergonomic for texting - expect these to be released in Asia any day now. The new design repositions the keypad above the screen and ensures that most of the handset rests in the palm of the hand for improved support and control. As well as the improved grip, the thumb rests in a comfortable position directly above the buttons of the keypad. The improved angle for the thumb makes it unnecessary to shift the mobile phone around in the hand while typing text.
