Motorola unveils PVOT concept phone

Posted on May 12, 06 05:57 PM PDT

The Motorola PVOT is a hand crank phone that offers one minute of usage after a sweat-inducing 25 cranks. Talk about working for your airtime! The hand crank charges the single AA rechargeable battery inside, and the PVOT comes with a 125 x 125 dot matrix LCD and an "Eraser Shield" keypad. It is still unknown whether this concept will make it into production, but should that happen, it will be a boon to developing third world countries in bridging the communications gap.

Starfleet operations bans the sale of this device! Obey the temporal prime directive and stay away until we can retrieve it!
