The concept started by Mat Brady. He wanted to get rid of his N95, but couldn't get himself to buy an iPhone for the same reasons other people don’t like the iPhone. It lacks a good camera, it doesn’t have a physical keyboard, and it doesn’t have enough storage space.
Mat made his concept through photoshop and called it “iPhone Elite”- an iPhone with 60GB of storage, a true 16:9 aspect ratio, a slide-out keyboard, a one megapixel front camera for iChat, and a high quality camera, with optical zoom, and video capability.
Gizmodo expanded hid idea and changed the keyboard up a bit, and added a Nintendo D-Pad.
Here is an email to Steve Jobs from Mat Brady
Hi Steve,
As you can see I've made a few design suggestions to your iPhone.
I've held off getting an iPhone until it gets a better camera. (See pic)
Let me know when I can get rid of my N95.
Cheers,
Mat Brady
