The Sony Ericsson T905 concept phone comes with extra solar panels as you can see, but those may be there for bling or for environmentally friendly recharging. Either way, J. Havrlant’s design is neat and the specs are pretty good as well.

T905 comes with a 5 megapixel camera, a VGA display, aGPS and GPS, Wi-Fi b/g and 4GB M2 included.

Was wondering if my phone’s touchscreen was also a solar panel, would it feel really warm when I touched it? Just a thought, nothing to do with the T905…

It must be a Sony Ericsson day today, as I’m stunned by numerous concept phones pertaining to this brand and here comes the latest Walkman design, created by hydro- from Esato: Sony Ericsson W1000. Speechless? Thought so…

Its specs are no child’s toy if you ask me: a full touchscreen display, HD OLED screen, 16GB of internal memory, a 5 megapixel camera (this kinda’ spoils it), a 3.5mm Jack and Walkman v.4. It’s times like these when I wonder why there’s so much fuss about the iPhone at all.

After being stunned by a neat phone designed for ladies, it’s time to give the gentlemen a treat, shaped like a Sony Ericsson Video phone. This concept was designed by Anthony Mapstone and might just be your next camcorder replacement.

The Sony Ericsson Video Phone may allow you to capture the EURO 2008 goals, but what it surely does is offer handwriting recognition support and a dual mode function. There’s also a front camera for video calls, a 5 megapixel camera as the main video recording device, an MP4 player and… 8MB memory?!

Notice how the screen twists and locks into place, allowing the user to turn the Sony Ericsson Video Phone into a real camcorder. A neat browser, music and video player are also on-board of this multimedia wonder, which will very likely challenge any XpressMedia/XpressMusic touchscreen phone launched by Nokia.

Eclipse Intuit - Solar Phone With Better Specs Than You’d Expect

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.

The folks of Allaboutsymbian imagined the future of the N-series and designed a fresh N100 unit. It solves all of the issues of the previous handsets, like the dim screen of the N82, or the unprotected camera glass of the Nokia N95 8GB. The N100 comes with a 2.8 inch display, the same as the E61 and N95 8GB.

Also, the concept features an N82-style protected 5 megapixel rear camera that also records VGA video. Troubled by the sunny weather when using your smartphone? Forget about that, because the N100 features a transflective screen plus GPS, WiFi and a BP-4L 1500 mAh battery.

It measures 120 x 51 x 12 mm and weighs 104 grams, plus it comes with a numeric keypad with discrete, large numbers, application shortcut keys plus microUSB jack, a 3.5 mm stereo audio/TV out jack. There’s no info on the RAM, processor or the internal memory of the device, but I bet that it packs some steam, even in that segment.

Targeting a segment of the public was never easy, so seeing a phone designed for lefties must please at least a couple of thousand people. PXi falls in the SE “P” series and is Bence Bogar’s creation. The smartphone is both slim and hot looking, as you can see for yourself.

It’s made out of magnesium and it features a 3.3 inch touchscreen that rotates automatically just like the iPhone. PXi supports finger and stylus input, while on its left side there’s a jogdial and another touchscreen showing the used apps. This Sony Ericsson concept phone doesn’t get enough memory it seems, since it comes with 2 card slots.

The list of specs is completed by a 5 megapixel camera with Cybershot quality and stereo speakers. Futuristic? Yes. Conceptual? Yes. “Phantastic”? Very!

Get ready for a stunner as we’ve got a superb LG concept phone on our hands, the Synthesis, designed by Andrew Suenghyun Kim. It was created for the LG design competition from April and draws its inspiration from nature, photosynthesis to be more precise.

Before you start making “birds and bees” jokes, you should know that there’s no pollenization going on around LG Synthesis, but it does charge its Bluetooth headset with the aid of solar panels. Those are placed at the front of the handset, that features a scratch resistant glass display, a 3.5 inch AMOLED touch beauty. Of course, touch input is there on the specs list, accompanied by a 5 megapixel camera and a hidden front 1.3 megapixel camera for video conferencing.

LG Synthesis’ memory is also a stunner: 16GB SSD Solid State Drive, or 32GB if you like to store discographies on your handset. Back to the nature inspiration, the device shows floating bubbles, as if the handset were alive, while the charging/speaker dock resembles a tree branch. Let’s hope we’ll see this fashion phone turning into reality, courtesy of the LG brains.

Mohamad Moradi imagined the future of the LG Black Label series, that recently got a new member, the LG Secret KF750, The designer created the LG Butterfly concept phone, which might as well be the next Chocolate, but one that arrives with an interesting text input mechanism. LG Butterfly is black and sexy and features a directional pad, an MP3 button and the classic keys (call/endcall and the 2 navigation/action buttons beneath the display).

It might as well feature a touchscreen, since you can’t go wrong with that nowadays and a 5 megapixel camera would do, too. The MP3 button shows that we’ve got a more music-oriented device on our hands, so the folks from LG would better check this out, as it’s promising.

Sony Ericsson W990 Concept Design, Wants to be Nokia N96?

Sony Ericsson Walkman phones are usually defined by their multimedia features, but the W990 concept begs to differ as it features 16GB of internal memory and a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus. Of course that sounds a bit like Nokia N96 and a potential future iPhone, but I’m sure that nobody over at Sony Ericsson’s yet ready to jump on the clone wagon.

Oh, did I mention that W990 also features a holografic “touch” (sensor) display?

se_w990.jpg

The concept was designed by J. Havrlant and it’s far better than the poor design that surfaced on the Internet weeks ago, claiming to be the real handset.

We first saw this Sony Ericsson smartphone a week ago in a blurry pic that told us nothing about its features. Now it’s revealed in yet another image, this time a better one. You’ll probably complain about its too small touchscreen, but the display is quite decent and we can speculate that it’s a 2.6 inch one.

se_paris.jpg

Paris also features a full keyboard, similar to the one that P1 uses and this smartphone is, surprisingly enough a slider. It runs UIQ 3.3 and packs a 5 megapixel camera, W-LAN 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth, 3G and USB 2.0. The Unofficial Sony Ericsson Blog also adds GPS and Google Maps to the specs list plus Opera Mobile 9.5.

The latest info on this great device is that it’ll be announced before May and it will hit the stores in September.
