phone 1
there is nothing
We didn’t get a glimpse of the Phone 1, the first ever smartphone. The most prominent feature of the upcoming Android is the innovative lighting notification system on the back. Different light patterns (and sounds) are played depending on who is calling or which app is sending the notification. The idea is that you can tell who is trying to contact you even if your smartphone is lying face down. Doesn’t seem to be available in the US.
