this is indeed totally useless. i don’t want to come across as an iphone nut, but have you seen how the iphone handles incoming messages when it’s locked? it just shows the message on the screen, while remaining locked. no shaking required. and if you want to reply to the message, u just slide your finger across the screen.

This seems no less awkward than pressing the button. I’d rather shake the phone to send calls to answer phone or whatever. Something that’s more urgent.

I’m not feeling it. Any movement whatsoever would potentially caused messages to be read without the user ever seeing them. This, just like Flip Silent are only useful if you’re MOBILE phone is sitting on the desk in front of you, which contradicts the entire purpose of having the phone locked in the first place.

Would be cool for any notice: missed call > shake to see who it was; calendar entry > shake to see details etc.

It’s not useless! I think it’s really great!
Where can I get it?

So what if you get an SMS while the phone is in your pocket and then you jump off a roof (twice) and look at your phone? No message indicator visible I believe!?!
