What the heck is this?

WackyCourtesy of MobileTracker comes this image of Nokia's upcoming 7600 series phone. I'm a big fan of radical new steps in interface design, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this one. It looks something like a Star Trek communicator mixed with 60's era "futuristic" design. I'm not even sure where you talk into this thing. I guess Nokia deserves some praise for such an unconventional design, although I hope it functions better as a phone than the N-Gage, which, whatever its merits as a gaming platform, is not a very good phone (it has to be held perpendicular to your head in order to speak into it).

I don't know about anyone else, but I like a phone that looks like a phone. Call me old fashioned.
