Nokia cranks up twisty-turny phone design

A Nokia application to the US Patent and Trademark Office has revealed its work on a handset that’s operated by cranks. The The Register.

"Nokia’s application, which was filed in May 2006 but updated earlier this month, explains how the crank doesn’t move freely, but rather ‘clicks’ into two pre-set positions. The first slides the screen up to reveal the keyboard, but it can also be used to activate the phone’s video camera. A second turn activates a photo camera."
