Mooon+ Phone is a Smoooth Operator
Designer Sunman Kwon has put together quite a gem with this latest project. The Mooon+ Phone is a handset concept that combines style and functionality with a gigantic touchscreen to create a work of art. The sleek black case adds metal accents and what looks to be a stitched leather swatch to create a clean sexy look with a touch of class. Granted the phone is a bit bulky, but there’s nothing wrong with having a little meat on your bones. The few mentioned features include the touchscreen, a camera and an integrated removable bluetooth headset that attaches to the bottom of the phone. The Mooon+ Phone isn’t the first device to fit a bluetooth headset in the body of a handset but it certainly handles the design better than any other mobile we’ve seen. When attached, the bluetooth headset mirrors the metal accents and rounded shape seen at the top of the device. It can then be pulled off the body and a small earbud rotates out to be fitted within the ear canal. Small contacts at the rear of the headset allow the device to be charged continuously while attached to the handset. Will this puppy ever see mass production? Probably not, but it sure is nice to look at.

That thing sure is nice to look at! Can we get this type of design (e.g. integrated Bluetooth headset) in the BlackBerry 10000?

It’s nice looking, but, as I’ve said many times before when the integrated headset concept was brought up, there are two problems.
First, as noted, it makes the phone bigger. Many people prefer smaller phones.
Second, and potentially more important, if you don’t like the headset (bulky, uncomfortable, etc.) or its features, you’ve wasted your money. I’ll stick with a separate headset, thanks.

Quite a while back (about a year or so ago), I submitted this same idea to Motorola, and I got a letter in the mail soon after - saying that Motorola wasn’t interested in the idea.
