Whilst working for Ericsson in 1995 - aged only 18 - I came up with the original concept for this phone. It's design and it's functions. Ericsson promised they would pay me for my idea. I didn't receive a single penny. Instead, 6 or 7 years after submitting my design/idea, they sold it off to ex-Ericsson employees who formed a Spanish company called Owasys. This is intellectual theft and dishonour. Shame.
