What features would you pack into the 01 Phone?

Posted by T3 Online on Tue 16 Sep 2008

We created the 01 Phone to challenge the industry to deliver more. But the big question is - does our concept go far enough? This is your chance to tell us what you want in your ultimate handset.

We've kicked off a campaign to challenge the big brands to build tech that takes it to the next level. That's why we developed the 01 Phone - a feature-packed mobile phone that we believe would make a worthy market-leading handset.

But don't let us dictate what's best for you. It's time to get involved. We want to know what features you'd like to see crammed into your ideal handset.

So if you think the laser keyboard is a lame duck or you're desperate to get your hands on a phone that boasts more than 32GB of music, now's the time to tell us.

We'll listen to your suggestions and build the best into our final spec for the 01 Phone. Once we have the wishlist, we'll take it to the experts and get a prototype built.

So now's your chance to really get involved. Use the comments board below to stick your oar in.
