Brace yourself... it tilts.

Looking for stuff on Amazon, I was confronted by an advert for their latest mobile phone.  Curious as to what could possibly be next with mobile phone technology, I watched the video with an open mind, albeit a judgemental one.  As a potential customer I found out if you tilt it, crazy stuff happens and, amongst other things, makes the user go "woah!"

It also has the ability to find information that's right in front of you.

As I imagined, this is not for me and never will be.

Watch the video and judge for yourselves.

I don't know who will buy this. Maybe old people.

I can see a use if you only have one hand, otherwise I don't see the point.

ICBM

I don't know which looks more annoying, the device or the ad.

I think it would be fun to fill it with porn, call that mayday thing and then ask them how I can play videos.

I like it !!  I'll have one.  I like the 3D imaging thing but the tilty scrolling is a bit daft.

The may day app is wide open to abuse just call it and it controls your phone sending all your cash to Nigeria! Can see some advantages to the one handed thing .... great when your driving!! :x

Not good if you have the shakes after a tough night boozing or you're in a club ....



Oh man it tilts .... it really spooks me ...

Wow Amazon made a phone just for annoying preppy cretins?

In my defence, I watched it with the sound off, so I am unaware of the irritating bits.

"Whoa! This is totally gonna change the way I get around" Really, how? "Cos the buildings are wobbly now"

Pointless shit.

I think you activate that mode by holding it up really high so it gets maximum signal then spinning on the spot to give it some wind up kinetic energy to charge the call.  If you stop or fall over you might lose signal.

They all look a bit special, don't they?

I keep reading the title as "brace yourself: tits!" deeply disappointing.

Apologies.  Although I suppose the malapropism could refer to the people in the ad...
