While we mostly look forward, some tech designers look to the past for inspiration. This “Jot” concept phone design for Samsung incorporates a rotary dial, along with a capacitive OLED display and a removable stylus.

It’s allows users to make phone calls using the rotary dial while the stylus is used for writing messages. We love the retro look, but who is seriously going to dial using that rotary dial? And it isn’t exactly pocket friendly either.
