Giant Nokia 5800 XpressMusic invades Antwerp

We're not sure why giant phones are suddenly all the rage, but it seems to be a trend -- Nokia just put up this four-foot 5800 XpressMusic in Antwerp. Unlike the giant Samsung Messager that recently invaded Chicago, it's not actually a working phone, but the custom Flash interface designed by Create Multimedia is meant to mimic the OS as closely as possible -- so we're guessing it's just as frustrating as the real thing. Passerby can play with the Maps app, browse photos, and listen to music through some nifty through-the-glass speakers -- hit the read link for the video.

It's a hair conditioner commercial.
*cough*perv.

Could be a tech-skip into future payphones.
Thumb-print on the screen so it'll deduct the charges from your inbuilt Visa-chip, put on the headset and chat away during the videocall.

Frustrating as the real thing? Not a cool remark dawg, not cool.
