Seems at least 5 years away to me. And concepts rarely ever make final production states anyways. Will it make it to your local Nokia store?

Discuss.

I purchased my first mobile phone set in 1993 it was a Motorola, I dont remember the exact model (M300 or 200 something like that) but it was a PSN/PCS based SIMM phone (I lived in London those days).

It didn't have anything but service signals & battery power, it had a flip over the keybaord, only one ringtone with option of ascending/descending etc.

Today, just 12 years from my first mobile phone I am using Nokia N90. In 1993 I never thought that I'd be able to play a movie clip. Anyway, we dont know what comes up in next 5 years, 888 might as well be achieved well before that.

I wouldn't be surprised if this did become a real phone, if it did I wouldn't be surprised to see high prices and low availability to consumers... If it did hit the market it would certainly catch my eye and possibly my wallet too Smile
