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.

Bluemapdesign introduces a pretty good-looking concept phone, named SaY and it’s (according to the designers) a mobile phone that “expresses an open-minded attitude”. Well, open your mind to this cool-coloured handset below:
The SaY concept features a rubberized body plus glossy keypad and a 4 megapixel camera. It’s also got stereo speakers, arranged in a pretty original pattern. Bluemapdesign’s device is a trendsetter’s perfect gift and seemingly an ideal multimedia device, provided the handset has all the needed features underneath that beautiful skin.

I sure wish this concept were real! Imagine using an ultra-slim mobile device which basically includes a touchscreen, Internet support, a many megapixel camera and a scanner. Wi-Fi connectivity would also be on the feature list, plus Google Maps/Google Earth support and the classic google search. This cool concept was designed by Mac Funamizu.
With the aid of this revolutionary device you would be able to “scan” a building just like good old Mister Terminator and see all the search results related to it on the handset’s display. Just touch a part of the image you’re seeing and you’ll read details about it, be it a bug, a car, a restaurant or a hot girl. See the calories of the food you’re about to eat, search a famous author online and most of all NEVER get lost again.
Just hope that Mac Funamizu’s work will be turned into a real device, preferably by the folks of Google and their OHA partners. Would you like to use such an universal scanner/cellphone?

Stardate 18-02-2008… These are the voyages of the starship Rumorprise, bound to find the PSP Phone any minute now. It’s barely reached planet Stuff (magazine) and it seems that the device will feature a 480 x 272 display, a mini analog stick and finally lack that useless UMD drive. We’ll be playing game via M2 and what you can see above are (as mentioned) scans from Stuff magazine, which I spotted thanks to the folks of engadget. There’s also a supposed launch date in the magazine: July-December plus a few other details you’ll find out by reading the rest of the entry.

Seems that the Android platform finally has a “father”, courtesy of Google and Dell and the device is closer to its launch than you might have thought. This is not Dell’s first shot at launching a mobile phone, but let’s say that their PDAs were pretty much the reason for lack of enthusiasm these days. You’re probably wondering what’s the deal with that “Alienware” associated with the Android brand. Well, Dell bought Alienware, which you might know as one of the best tech companies ever, specially when it comes to gaming and multimedia. What you see above is an Alienware Android concept mobile phone but if you want to check out its specs, you’ll have to read the rest of this entry.
