And we thought touchscreens were tough enough to handle… Seems that Marc Schomann has just designed a mobile phone that will make your head spin while trying to dial the number of your close friends. Why? It will be a rather puzzle-based experience…
The handset hasn’t got a name yet, but what we do know is that it uses haptic technology and provides physical feedback while you try to make a call. In order to use this device, you’ll have to twist its circular sections till they’re aligned and they display the number you’re searching for.
After aligning the segments you’ll have to twist the first section of the handset till its LED turns greed. And that’s how you make a “Cryptex call” ladies and gentlemen.

The Glovephone is only a concept for now (Yay!) and it must be the ugliest piece of gadgetry I’ve seen lately. It connects via Bluetooth to your headset and can be used in extreme conditions. I guess that if you find yourself stranded at the end of the world design doesn’t matter much, so the phone is OK then.
One of its most interesting features is the fact that it automatically dials 911 in case you get into a fist fight. Just don’t let Rocky Balboa get a hold of it, or he’ll surely make about a million phone calls with his fists.

One of my best sources of concept phones and uber cool designs, Yanko Design has sadly been hacked. As I entered the site a great big “Hacked by AGGO” filled my Firefox tab, while a fatal error was present at the bottom of the page. 504 designs are available in the search bar above, from the thousands available till now. Hope they’ll be back online soon and sorry for what happened to them!
Update: They’re back, alive and kicking!
