Modded Motorola E6 can transform, make calls

With what was likely an inspired bit of effort, some clever modder -- we really wish we knew who to credit but sadly don't -- has converted a MOTOROKR E6 into a working transformer. Unlike the Nokia branded Transfomer handsets we saw last week, this actually transforms and apparently somehow still functions as a phone -- though looking at it we'd guess just barely. While, we wouldn't haul this around with us as a day to day phone, we'd def put it up in a place of honor here at the Engadget Mobile Mansion. Hit the read link for a pile more shots.

It says on the picture you quote, jees. Mr. You Da-Wei (游大緯) is the modder. And no, it doesn't make phone call.

For some reason, I can't get that Styx song out of my head.

It's non functional, it's made out of a dummy phone, but it indeed transforms. Very cool concept.
