A
British man has gone “bionic” by being the first patient to have a
smartphone docking station built into his prosthetic arm, doctors said.
Trevor Prideaux, born without his left arm, said he used to have to
balance the smartphone on his prosthetic arm or put it on a flat surface
to use it. But with the help of medical experts and technicians at
Nokia, Prideaux can now text and call easily from the phone docked into a
special receptacle in his fiberglass prosthetic arm. A phone-shaped
cradle in the skin-colored limb holds his Nokia phone, allowing him to
make and take calls with just one hand.
