This thing is a big fancy phone for Wall Street traders designed by Frog Design. It has all kinds of crap all over it, as we can see here, but most interestingly is a quote by IPC's CEO, Lance Boxer:

The trading floor is one of the most high-octane and high stakes environments in business. With the advent of cell phones, iPods and Xboxes, the new generation of traders has been weaned on consumer technology.

There you have it. Industrial design for the ADD set. This phone has a TFT screen and DeskShare, which lets traders fob calls off to their co-workers when they go outside to snarf down a burger and five cigarettes.
