In this post, we will talk about a phone that was first designed for British Military, but after recognizing the benefits of this device, the manufacturers decided to put it on sale for all market segments. The plan is to launch two versions of the phone – a consumer version and another emergency service version for military. Designed to protect and save life, the device is known as iCEphone and is produced by The Medical Phone LTD in collaboration with Shore Design.
This phone has a cross platform medical software package that is a milestone in terms of latest technologies and that is why it cannot be compared to any other phone available in the market. However, it has all the features that you would expect in a normal smartphone. That was enough to impress anyone, but manufacturers did not settle down just for that and added 3G touch phone specs and micro notebook capabilities. It also comes with on-board first aid software, caller collect international emergency helpline and medical history usage.
Defined as the new Swiss Army Knife in the world of smartphones, it has three independent panels. As you can see in the picture, you can hold it in any position you like, switching between full QWERTY typing, gaming and touch screen modes. Other key features includes, 3-inch touch screen display, gaming console controls, full query keyboard, mouse tracker pad, 2 SIM cards and many other interesting things in a size of Nokia E 90 communicator. Beautifully designed and exquisitely engineered triple flip phone features 3.1 MP camera, HSDPA 3G, Bluetooth (Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR), GPS and Wi-Fi (802.11b and 802.11g).
