In an age where less is considered more, the iPhone having only button, Nokia has just made a patent for a “layered mobile device” that has a dedicated QWERTY keyboard, T9 keys and dedicated multimedia control keys. I can’t even begin to think of the sheer level of complexity the sliding mechanism. Long story short, it’s nasty.

      […] Nokia Triple Slider Patent - Mais teclas para o celular Mais uma curiosa patente da Nokia surgiu na internet, e agora temos um teclado triplo com um QWERTY, outro numérico com T9 e os controles para multimedia. Nada revolucionário, mas parece caminhar meio que na contra-mão em tempos de iPhone e nova interface Touch para Symbian.Todos fugindo dos botões e a Nokia aumentando o número de teclas em seus aparelhos.No meu ponto de vista, desde que o teclado não implique em um aumento do tamanho do aparelho e em mais folgas no Slider, com certeza o teclado será muito bem vindo!É esperar para ver!Fonte: IntoMobile.  […]
