It honestly looks like the guy is barely flipping it open with his thumb or pushing something. It looks like the second time it opens, his thumb turns white right around the edge of the phone, maybe from pressure of pushing something? I don't know, it just seemed weird to me.

Why dont they have a button that makes the phone read your thoughts and send it through the phone if youre that lazy you cant open your phone.

It's not being lazy, it's just a "feature." I have a knife that opens fully after I flip the blade part way out. It's not that I'm too lazy to pull the blade fully out on my own, it's just cool.

That said, I wouldn't buy the phone. Although if they did make a phone that could just read my thoughts so I could communicate with others effortlessly then I might be intrested.

It's not really a lazy issue. It just eliminates the biggest drawback of having a flip phone. Depending on your phone, getting your thumb in there can be a PIA.

I just thought it was pretty cool because there is nothing else like it on the market. I guess this is just more interesting to a gadget nut like myself.
