Clearly, the guys at Motorola have gone off the deep end, lost it, gone ‘round the twist, lost their marbles, gone bonkers or whatever.

Eh? Moto has patented a phone that releases a scent while the user is talking. As if there weren’t enough features on a phone to chew up batteries, now we’ve got to expend power to heat a scent pack too.

I’m so not kidding either. Really, I’m not late for April Fools Day here. I’m particularly fond of the name that Engadget hung on the phone.. The MOTOSNIFR.

So, save your pennies kids, it won’t be long until you’ll be dying for a phone that smells like lilacs or vanilla. Or not.
