Not gonna lie, I like it! I would like to make softwares for it, IMHO offers really good inspiration for new UX interactions
The eBay Essential PH-2
Such a cool design and I wish we saw more aspect ratios in the market. A device like this could really shake things up, if only to get some creative ideas flowing.

I heard Nothing too was about to be known as Essential..I wonder is there any relation between the two brands?

Rob Well it’s an incredible tech if I’ll be honest, it will be even more cool and enhance it’s portability if it’s a flip, but I’ll still prefer it to be something that controls things like like a remote (for all present and future nothing products) , iPod, documentaion, presentation (projector), reminder, alarm cloc, SOS and so on, though it will be more demanding if its can be foldable to up the size into a normal smartphone size rather than wide as tab; if it can be foldable ( horizontal fold ) then it can be a new kind of smartphone that give pencil or pen like vibe. In conclusion it has a lot of potential
I recall reading about your excitement on Discord, when you purchased this device, @3DPrintedCat !
It is certainly something unique and I love the way you utilise its special form factor in your creative decisions and process. I hope it helps your workflow for many years to come, for how your apps and development can be adjusted for new smartphone form factors.
Enjoy this piece of history, I hope it continues to bring you joy
This is awesome! I still wish this would have launched, such a great concept and just something unique and different. It gave me updated Samsung Juke vibes haha.

Ealesy101 my design choices are directly impacted by the devices I have around me as I can interact with them in 3d and allows me to have a full understanding, you can expect some of this DNA incorporated into the concepts.
I find it very interesting that the phone has the advantage of not needing a lot of space. It is space saving. I think it’s interesting, I’d like to have one. It’s a different format than usual but still high quality.
The form factor looks cool, simple and clean!
This phone makes me nostalgic. The pre-smarthpone ear where phones came in all shapes and sizes. Candy bars/clamshells/flip phone…. That was creativity at its best!
My first phone, the Motorola C330 came with 3 different cases (also the reason I bought it!). Samsung had a credit card sized phone or Panasonic’s matchbox sized phone…amazing days!
BTW, this form factor folded as a flip phone is fodder for thought!
wth why is this actually good
that aint no phone, thats a remote
