Design Prototype: Dali’s Melting Clock Digitalized

Although we would have preferred the artist stay with the original analog version of Dali’s melting clock, this digital version is cool too.

Is the HTC phone with the codename Excalibur this phone? Smartphone thoughts thinks it is, and says it’s only a few millimeters thicker than the Samsung i320 and 2 millimeters shorter.
