When you try to cram games, texting, phone service, your medical history, satellite GPS and, well everything a computer can do into a phone, you get the iCEphone. The bulky phone is from Edinburgh, Scotland and it’s looking for a home in the U.S.

The twist behind the iCEphone and the hordes of other smartphones flooding the market is that this is meant for emergencies. The iCEphone, a nod to the In Case of Emergency trend of storing emergency contacts in a phone’s address book, does three things: Includes tips on what to do in an emergency (CPR lessons), automatically records what steps were taken and gives a report to ER services, and it stores medical records securely. More details on the company’s Web site.

But for the phone to show up in the U.S., it would need a telecom company to add it to its inventory. Without that, iCEphone officials estimate that the unlocked phone would cost just below $1,000 U.S.
