if there are no speakers and you only hear with your ear on the phone,how do you watch videos without headset?? Forget that...how do you hear it ring?? Nice idea though. I don't think its totally speakerless

      Good to see out of the ordinary ideas implemented and in their final stage. All those technologies we've only seen on papers and sometimes in prototypes. This is not a monster of smartphone, but it's quite original.

        Another thing to get used to is the phone sending vibrations through the cartilage next to your ear. Not sure if that'll be a little too strong for some.
