Motion detectors in mobile phones seem to be suddenly all the range, yet nobody seems to know quite what to do with them. Samsung, for example, have used theirs in the SCH-B570 to switch off its alarm clock. Novel, but hardly revolutionary.

Now NEC have come up with something equally useless, yet visuall stunningy – a battery level indicator rendered as a liquid that actually sloshes around as you move the phone.

NEC have announced the NEC N908, a new mobile that’s the same size as a credit card. Not the same width, mind – at 12.8mm thick, it’s nearly twice the width of Samsung’s record-breaking super-thin phone the Samsung X828. But as you can see from the pics, the N908 has the same length and height as a credit card – it’ll just look a bit odd in your wallet!
