Everybody likes technology, especially those that have been handicapped in someway. However, technology is rarely designed with their convenience in mind, and it has always been difficult for them, no matter how much they like a certain product.  Trevor Prideaux, for example, has always loved smartphones, but he finds them difficult to use with just one hand.

Fortunately, Nokia decides to intervene with the help of medical experts. At the Exeter Mobility Center, the two parties collaborated to fashion a fitted prosthetic arm with a dock that will accommodate the Nokia C7. I find it very considerate of Nokia to accept such a challenge.

According to The Telegraph, Prideaux originally approached Apple for this reason, but he was declined. Too much drama going on at Apple, maybe?  They sure have a lot of things at hand: the iPhone 4S, Steve’s Death, patent wars against Samsung,  tough competition from Android, etc.

A 50-year-old catering manager then told The Telegraph that “this (the awesome smartphone dock) would help a lot of people with prosthetic arms—especially those who were not born with the disability. People who have had motorbike crashes and soldiers who have lost limbs—they could all benefit from this.”

This is going to help a lot of people with only one arm, especially those who came home without it from the bloody battles in Afghanistan and Iraq.  While the number of soldier deaths has been dramatically declined, it increase the number of disabled soldiers, nearly doubling the figure from 2009-2010.  Their disability is not congenital, so things sure are tough for them.

Nokia’s working on a few projects of its own, including an entirely new array of smartphones designed around Windows Phone platform.  Expectations are high for Nokia, as it struggles to find its way back to the top of the smartphone sector.  It is quite nice that they’ve taken on a special project to help others better utilize some of the world’s most revolutionary technology to date.
