We showed you Nokia 5800 XpressMusic back in the days when it was a rumor called “Tube”, as it surfaced in the movie The Dark Knight. Now, its successor also makes an appearance in a brand new movie, Star Trek, as young James Kirk’s modern and futuristic phone.
Could the handset in the short scene below really be Nokia 5900?
Last time we saw (or thought we saw) a future Nokia phone in a movie, it was in Echelon Conspiracy, with the whole Nokia Aeon thing. Now we’re wondering if the beautiful full touch device with a mirror finish and chromed edges is really the future Nokia XpressMusic handset or just a concept created for Star Trek.

Yes, you’ve read it right: Nokia Aeon might be the handset that appears a couple of times in the new motion picture Echelon Conspiracy. In case you haven’t got the time and patience to watch the movie, we provide some shots from it, showing the mystery device and there’s even a trailer featuring the phone below.
This handset, known as GZT 650 resembles Nokia Aeon very much and its front side is divided into 2 segments, just like on the famous Nokia concept. The two segments are separated by a metallic stripe and the upper side of the display is transparent, like the keypad of the LG GD900 phone.
During Echelon Conspiracy there’s a scene where the device’s screen is shown and we can get a glimpse of its options: messaging, mail, search, calendar, a weather app, a browser, stocks and settings. Since Nokia 5800 XpressMusic surfaced in “The Dark Knight“, could GZT 650 be an upcoming Nokia touchscreen phone as well?
Don’t forget to check out the movie’s trailer below (bad movie though):

We never thought we’d seen something similar to Nokia Aeon again, although there were a few Chinese handsets that resembled that beauty. Now, Jeffrey Gerlach designed the Ripple Phone, which practically revives the Aeon concept, as it sports a dual multi-touch OLED screen and a very slim profile.
Ripple also features an alpha-numeric keypad, a mini USB port for charging and data transfer, a 5 megapixel camera and integrated hand grip. Aside from the numeric keypad, there’s also the onscreen virtual QWERTY one, divided into 2 segments, but still easy to use.
Also, I’ve got to admit that the photo menu looks quite hot and overall the device is very promising.

Petitinvention once again introduces a superb concept phone and, as far as I know, the creative genius behind this is an Apple fan, so my lucky guess (based on the device’s look) is that we might be dealing with a so-called Mac Phone. The designer of the device compares it to Nokia Aeon, but I think this is better and more original.
Notice the fancy keyboard (QWERTY and numeric), the brilliant touchscreen and the “Mac white” displayed by the device? Practically, the handset has no borders, so we’re talking full touchscreen, in an original way. If you ask me about the OS of this concept, I might say Android, but I don’t think that Google’s software is worthy enough to be emulated on this beauty…

Few people have discussed the Motorola Woll concept phone so far, but I’m ready to jump into this pool of speculations. First of all, it resembles the Nokia Aeon quite a bit and it’s a very long device, maybe comparable to that Intel Phone concept we saw at the beginning of 2008.
Aside from that, the Woll is thin, features 2 touchscreens (I may be wrong here), a virtual keyboard and … Windows Vista!? At least that’s what the display says, accompanied by the TIM logo… There’s also a camera in the mix, but the details end here, for now. Not going into production soon, I suppose.

There are few concept phones that remain in the memory of tech geeks and Nokia Aeon is one of them. It may be the touchscreen or the sci-fi look, but it’s there in our heads and waiting to be released. The latest piece of news is that it already exists, at least in the Nokia labs, so we’ve got an Aeon coming soon folks.
The only proof of the statement above is a picture, more or less fake that shows a handset with touchscreen displays and a removable bottom part. This part could be the Nokia interactive touch keypad we’re eager to see in action.
Before we get the official word from Nokia, let’s remember what Aeon was like when we first saw it:
