‘Tryphone’ before you buy… on your PC

tryphonegrab.jpgYou can go to a mobile store and ask to try out a new handset but it’s very problematic – the store staff are busy, there are too many customers, you don’t have the time to play around with the phone as you’d like…

What if you could try out all the phone’s features on your PC without leaving the house? How cool would that be?

Well, Tryphone’s launched a new website letting you test-drive a handset.

Unlike a lot of emulators and demo phones on websites, which are quite limited in terms of what you can try out, Typhone promises to let you do anything and everything on your desired handset.

It works a treat and is a great idea I’m sure will eventually be picked up by operators and retailers for their websites.

There is one catch though – it’s a US site and at the moment on the iPhone, Samsung Juke, LG Muziq and BlackBerry Pearl are online. However there is a ‘Suggestions’ link for you to ask very nicely for your desired handset to be uploaded.

You can check it out for yourself here.
