We’ve seen a couple of handsets for blind people till now, but this one is surely a looker. The Make Sens phone was designed by Takumi Yoshida and uses colour patterns and curves instead of the classic Braille keypad.
Seems that the Make Sens concept is also designed for people with poor vision, as it shows visual alerts, quite bright ones in order to attract the user’s attention. The big accent lights on the sides of the handset are used for this purpose, so you’ll be a walking disco, in case you wear white pants and the thing starts “alerting” you.

The REI mobile phone design below belongs to Feng Xun and it’s an excellent example of touchscreen smartphone that resembles the iPhone and still manages to add a bit of extra flavour in the interface department. It’s got a virtual QWERTY keypad that can be used in normal and landscape mode and a pretty user friendly way of taking pics.
What does REI stand for? “Respect. Emotion. Individual”. I would have gone with “Interface” for the last one, but I guess that “individual” is just as good. Watch the concept phone in action below:

It’s not all cellphones nowadays, as cordless concept devices can also prove to be quite original sometimes. One of them is the Hang Up Phone, designed by Donn Koh, from Singapore.
What’s its special feature? You can end calls by simply hanging the device anywhere or by letting it stand on a table. It comes with an induction charger and transmitter that looks like a hook.

The Eclipse Intuit handset below reminds me of the concept phone with incorporated Bluetooth headset, that resembled the Sony PSP. This time, we’re treated with a better-than-average device, with a 5 megapixel camera, photo editing software, slide out touch keyboard (with tactile feedback) and a decent touchscreen.
Eclipse Intuit was designed by Eddie Goh and it uses a thin solar layer that charges using solar energy and not only that, relying on each and every source of light to keep the battery going. Apple had a similar concept, showing up on the Web a couple of weeks ago, so the solar phone is pretty doable, if you ask me.

We wouldn’t bet our houses on the fact that the following concept is a mobile phone, but still we can see it’s a slim device and a portable one. It looks like a modem of some sort of the perfect remote control, but I can imagine there’s a touchscreen in there and a decent keypad. What drew my attention to this device is its slimness and neat form factor.

One of the most beautiful concept phones can be seen in the following images and it tends to be original and chic, rather than sexy and breathtaking. The watch phone designed by Adam Huffman features a touchscreen and uses a Bluetooth headset in order to receive and make calls.
What about text messages? I’m guessing it features vocal recognition or something…

This concept smartphone is one thick Photoshop design, but it got me wondering… Is that QWERTY keypad sliding from the sides of the device or is it a whole body at the back of the handset spinning and coming into its rightful place?
I’m tempted to think it’s the second, but this mechanism makes the phone rather bulky, so it won’t appeal to the masses, unless you’re a BlackBerry fan.

We’ve just found out that there’s going to be another OLPC generation, the XO-2, getting launched in 2010, at a $75 price tag. But that’s no reason to stop us from imagining an even smaller, lighter and more portable device, with a tendency of becoming a smartphone, rather than a mini-notebook.
Great concept shown above, although it’s clear that we’re dealing with 2 joint iPhone devices. OLPC XO-2 Nano? Could be, but that will turn into a rather thick device. The Apple folks might be drawing some conclusions from such simple mockups.

You know what this concept watch (hopefully phone too) reminds me of? The modu phone, that can use tons of jackets to be turned into upgraded devices. The “Lobster” device below can also have modules attached to it, offering it all the extra features that the basic package doesn’t include.
What’s neat is that the segments of the Lobster look like an arm band, even if you keep adding more, like the MP3, GPS, hard disk, camera or cardiometer accessories.

Basically, Anwuli Abulokwe wasn’t satisfied with the original iPhone so he designed his own version of an iPod/phone hybrid. The result is not quite the Apple iPhone, but rather a lighter and smaller handset, plus a more affordable one.
The “Say Hello!” device comes with a digital touchscreen, a headphones port, a dock connector port, an E-Z grip stylus and an Internet browser that can display web pages in landscape mode. Looks more like an iPod than a phone if you ask me…
