Onyx have just released a tiny mobile phone (60g, 91 x 35 x 18mm) targeted as a 'pub' phone', the idea being that you swap the SIM from your bulkier primary phone before heading out for a drink.
It's a nice looking item, however I'm guessing this is not going to be a winning idea for the following reasons:
1. Swapping the SIM is a pain on a lot of mobile phones.
2. The Liscio has no camera. The pub is exactly the place where a mobile's camera tends to get used.
3. Most people with 'bulkier' phones don't carry their contact/calendar data around on their SIMs.
4. Its £130 asking price puts it beyond the 'impulse/gift buy' category.
5. Most people want LESS items that require charging/organising/looking after, not more.

Shouldn't a phoen designed for the pub be CHEAPER than your usual phone? Seeing as drinking + phone can often equal lost phone?
It's a very pretty thing, but I don't quite get it... :x
