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…

Want a fancy electronic companion that’s also a stylish phone? Oh and make it elegant enough to suit a business woman… That’s tough! The Pink Planner mobile phone concept might be the device to fit the workoholic ladies’ taste, offering them the needed productivity features.
Designed by Yuri Kim, the Pink Planner phone features a touchscreen and impressive facade. It can open up like the good old Communicators and it comes with a special “wallet design” that allows you to store business cards.

The concept phone you see in the image below hasn’t received a name, yet, but it’s still a good-looker, thanks to its large, transparent display. Basically, that’s all that’s fascinating about this handset, its screen. It behaves exactly like the surface of a lake, standing still when the phone is in standby mode and showing reflections and flows as you watch movies, listen to music or browse.
This “Lake Phone” was designed by Xiao Zhihua, from Shanghai Huawin Telecom Technology co,. ltd and can be operated horizontally, vertically and diagonally if you want to, thanks to a shifting interface. All in all this is a stylish phone, but the style is generated by the software, rather than the hardware, if you ask me.

BenQ Siemens haven’t launched a hit phone in ages, so we’re glancing at concepts for now. The one below is a beauty if you ask me and any other music fan out there. This Coral/BenQ Siemens MP3 handset was created by Sasha Tseng from San Francisco, California and it’s a slider that can compete with the best phones pertaining to the Sony Ericsson Walkman series.
Since this MP3 device is a slider, it can switch from music mode to phone mode as you slide it upward or downward. Add a decent internal memory to this beauty and you’ve got yourself a winning double-slider BenQ Siemens!

This concept phone’s main feature is its sliding sensor pad, that takes interaction and input to the next level. The handset was designed by Sang hoon Lee and published on Coroflot, as for the pad, it’s made out of tiny 3D dots that sense the movement of the user’s fingers. Such a technology is useful for writing and drawing, only relying on your fingers.

This Motorola concept phone was designed by Lysandre Follet, from Paris, France and published on Coroflot and also on the device creator’s site (quite a nice one, actually). It may have a tiny little Blackberry form going on, but that stereo camera is surely a winner, if you ask me.
Add some e-mail support, Wi-Fi and a powerful speaker in the mix and this device might as well save the famous American brand.

Since we’re focusing on concept phones, there’s the occasional bad concept design we run into, made in a hurry, using Photoshop and elements from previously launched phones. We’re dealing with the perfect example of such a poor attempt, in the next image, seemingly showing a Sony Ericsson W990:
The bottom of this phone is actually the top of a Sony Ericsson W950i, as stated by an Esato board member, while the touchscreen + Windows Mobile is surely a combination not fit for the classic SE phone. Better luck next time, to the author of this design!

Don’t think of this concept handset as yet another iPhone wannabe and the next best touchscreen device! It may have a neat design, metal accents and the classic camera, but it also comes with a detachable Bluetooth headset, as an original touch.
Designed by Sunman Kwon, this beauty pretty much solves the problem of the cellphone owners who always lose their headsets by incorporating such an accessory into the phone’s mouth piece. Also, you should know that the headset gets charged while it’s attached to the phone, solving any potential power issues.
Just don’t let it slip into your mouth and in case it does, pray that the previous user’s ears were clean…

Esato forum user Muhammad Oli posted this great concept on the forum yesterday, showing the world his vision on the future of Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot phones. Oli’s design is the C802 handset, a great-looking one actually that features a 5 MP camera, 3x optical zoom and Carl Zeiss optics .
Muhammad Oli said that he used a couple of parts from the K770i handset for this design and the C802 is intended as an update for the K770i, but he took it even beyond the C902.

Just when we thought we’ve seen everything from Nokia and their R&D section, we stumble upon this Morph concept, revealed today and created by Nokia Research Centre and the University of Cambridge. The device uses advanced nanotechnology and it’s a flexible handset, transforming into any shape you want it to. It can be seen at The Museum of Modern Art in New York till May 12.
It’s made out of flexible materials, features transparent electronic parts and best of all, it cleans itself! E-paper and Sony’s flexible display are so obsolete once you get to see this baby in action. Imagine turning your phone into a flat surface and then turning it into a normal handset, at the exact time you receive a call.
Nokia’s technology involves the use of 10.000 transistors that fit on a insect’s hair, plus Morph includes highly sensitive sensors that detect chemical compounds in the air and analyze the smells you can perceive. Also the handset seems to use solar energy, as its primary energy source.
As for the self-cleaning part, the surface of the device is superhydrophobic, making Nokia’s phone extremely dirt repellent. Did I mention that it features a haptic surface, which takes touch control beyond any imagination? The last detail about Morph is for the ladies out there, who’ll seemingly be able to wear this beauty on their wrists, by turning the flexible nano-based fabric into a bracelet and using a wallpaper that makes it look like a real one.
Too bad we’re only going to see such a device at least 7 years from now, but it’s good to know that our future is green and that Nokia intends to stay on top, in the mobile industry.
