Hyundai has found some inspiration for their next handset from marine life, apparently. The MB-490i, slated for a May launch, has a 240 x 400 touchscreen, a secondary swipeable touchscreen, and speakers by Yamaha. All NSFW pop culture references aside, this one should be going for €250. What do you guys think of the design? I dunno, ever since the Hitchhiker’s Guide, I’ve always been a been weirded out by dolphins – as if, behind those beady eyes, they know way too much for their own good. Don’t let the cute squeaking and impressive aerial maneuvers distract you – those guys are up to something.
