The Whisky Flask Phone

It's with a heavy heart that I post these design mockups—there's little hope of any of them ever being made. See here the utilitarian and attractive translucent display of the Eclipse concept phone from "Blood Rabbit" from the Product Design Forums. The entire point is to offer Startac-like simplicity and compactness, with no unneeded features to weigh it down.

"This phone has all the basic features for a 1996 phone(phonebook, sms and calls), but still no camera or other close to useless features. In other words it follows the design and ideas of my last phone(tiny phone. The phone is about 5.5 cm tall closed and 9 cm open. It uses a seetrough lcd similar to a older phone would have used, this helps the battery." — Blood Rabbit.

I like it because in its closed state, it resembles my whisky flask.
