Looks like BlackBerry maker Research In Motion is looking at something new in the mobile phone line, and that is a mobile handset that has a keypad with wings and have filed a patent for such.

The concept is that the mobile phone starts off with a numeric keypad on a slimmer mobile handset, too slim we think, but anyway, when the users feel it necessary for more keys they flip out the two wings.

Personally I would think this type of thing would be somewhat clumsy to use to say the least, and just where those flips actually sit when not in use simply covers up even more of the slim keypad. Really can’t see the point in this one.
