Fwd: FUTURE OF MOBILE PHONES

1 Nokia 888 Communicator

Nokia definitely has the most interesting concept phones.

Nokia 888 Communicator is a striking futuristic concept phone.

The phone, which uses liquid batteries, speech recognition, flexible touchscreen

and touch-sensitive body cover, is designed by Tamer Nakisci

and won the Nokia Design Award










2 Nokia Aeon
Nokia Aeon was presented by Nokia on their Website in the Research & Development section.
What is so great about this phone is that it looks like it will actually
go into production. Of course, its just a rumor,
but it still makes us hope to actually see it someday in the GSM shop.
All we know about it for now is that its a touch-screen phone and it looks fantastic.










3 Sky "Sleak n Slim"
"Sleek & Slim" from SKY is another concept based on touch-screen technology.
The phone has a discretely-glowing touchpad, hideaway keys
and generally utterly-fashionable minimalist design.






4 Benq-Siemens "Snaked"
Benq designers thought of women too and presented Snaked.
This is a "reptile"-looking phone, creepy somehow, but still is very cool.
The Snaked is a fashion phone for sport-loving women, because it also has
body-monitoring sensors to help the ladies keep those fine shapes.



5 What You See is What You Get Concept
One thing is for sure about this concept phone --- they could've named it shorter.
Designed by Pei-Hua Hang, the phone's name comes from the fact that
this concept no longer uses an LCD as viewfinder for the digital camera.
Instead it uses a transparent frame.
And of course, interaction is made through a touch-screen.







6 Retroxis By Dark Label
Most phones presented here will never be sold in store for sure,
but the Retroxis concept-phone from Dark Label looks kind of human,
and makes us hope we'll be able to get one of these one day.
Designed by Lim Sze-Tat, the phone is encased in highly-polished polycarbonate
renowned for its lightweight and toughness
and has an invisible OLED display that silently hides away when inactive.




7 Benq-Siemens "The Blackbox"
Black Box designed by Benq-Siemens uses a touch-screen as its keypad
and depending on the functions you are using, the touch-screen changes the control layout immediately.






8 NEC Tag
Somehow similar to the Snaked concept, the NEC Tag is a flexible phone concept that can be,
for example, hung from a belt or wrapped around the user's arm.
Interesting is that the phone has shape-memorizing material and sensors
that allows the phone to change its shape according to the mode.








9 TripleWatch
Though the idea of a cellphone-watch is not so new, the TripleWatch designed by Manon Maneenawa
has an interesting triple flip technique
that allows the user to transform the watch into a normal cellphone.
When used as a wrist watch, the phone has a speaker button
that allows the user to answer the phone and hang up while driving.








10 Asus Aura
