Phones have gone from devices that make and receive calls to handsets that must feature a camera, most of the modern types of connectivity, some serious media playing potential a many gigs of memory.
Motorola Twirl is one of those concept phones that can be used for more than just calling, as it’s your mobile wallet, allowing you to pay bills, but also your car key, opening the door for you, when you had one too many beers.

The concept was created by Tom Riddle and, as you can see in the picture this is a three-faceted device that reminds me of a couple of leaves. Moto Twirl can also be attached to your steering wheel in order to start the car and some of you gamers might notice that the layout of the concept phone’s keypad resembles the one of a joystick.

I received an email just the other day, that had a beautiful concept design attached: the Motorola Briq. No details at all about it, but there was a name at the end of the email, Piotr Paczkowski, who is, I suspect, the designer of the handset. We’re dealing with a dual sliding beauty, with a very, very strange keypad, a diagonal numeric one on the right and a half QWERTY on the left.

UPDATE: The creator of the phone above sent me a list of its spec. Here it is:
- dual slider with two independent keyboards
- EDGE/HSDPA/UMTS/GSM
- touchscreen (1:2 or 2:1)
- 256 MB RAM and 256 MB ROM
- CPU 450 MHz
- internal memory 8GB and microSDHC
- WiFi
- Bluetooth
- GPS
- 3,2 mpx camera with autofocus
- Windows Mobile 6, with free update to Windows Mobile 7
As far as I can see, this is a touchscreen device that comes with a decent looking headset and a tiny remote with music controls. Oh, I forgot to mention that there was also a link the email, which pointed me towards the following picture.
Another mysterious Motorola handset… Any ideas?

While HTC’s officially announcing three new Touch handsets, we’ve stumbled upon yet another concept version of the Motorola Z12. It was created by the same Flickr user as before, kizazzz, but this time we get to see its interface and check out a few specs.

We’re dealing with a 50 mm wide device, in its top section and 45 in the bottom section, while the depth goes from the 3 mm at the top to the 7 mm at the bottom and 10 mm, when the handset’s closed. The Motorola Eclipse weighs 118 grams and comes with a high quality tempered glass front and brushed aluminium back plate.
The camera’s got the same 5 megapixel sensor as before, plus the Xenon flash, while the device uses the revolutionary Orb interface (heard of it?). Also, the rest of the specs are pretty predictable: 8 gigs of internal memory, 3G, WiFi and multimedia features. We want a video of the device, please?

Last time I heard rumors about the Motorola Z12, the handset was divided into two parts, the bottom one being touch sensitive. Also, thanks to a teaser we found out that the Z12 would come with a 16M colour VGA resolution 2.8″ display and a 5 megapixel camera. Well, at least the camera is still there in this concept design created by Kizazzz.

The camera also features a Xenon Flash and what puzzles me is the “Coming Soon” promise on the pic of the phone. Is the real handset coming soon or a better concept design?

Does anyone want to reinvent the flip phone? Ravefolk, Motorolafans forums user claims that he does and shows the world his creation: Motorola Motofashion X3, the start of a new series of fashion phones, as the designer claims. The Linux-based handset is a weird combination between original design and mid-range features, but its ergonomics are pretty bad for a fashion phone…

Well, for starters, the screen is too small and the keypad is very uncomfortable to use, not to mention the whole flip phone mechanism that’s pretty much useless, since you can use 90% of the phone’s features right away, without flipping it open. Here’s the list of Motofashion X3’s features anyway:
- OLED high-def display, 262k colours, 220 x 768 pixels resolution
- 2.0 megapixel camera with macro, 8x zoom and flash
- video recording in MP4 format
- Mototunes media player
- FM Stereo Radio with RDS
- Picsel document viewer
- Bluetooth 1.2 with AD2P
- Flight mode
- Linux-based UI with Flash-based interface
- 7 direct shortcuts via numeric buttons

A spider web, to be more precise, as it seems that Motorola and Spider-man have collided into a pretty neat gadget. This beautiful device was designed by Jonathan Lucas and published on Coroflot, so we’ve yet to hear an announcement from Motorola regarding the SPDR handset.

An interesting feature of this concept phone is the fact that it includes a cool microphone which extends down using a spider web-shaped mechanism. Will we see such a device in Spider-man 4, the movie? I guess it’s Motorola’s call, but I don’t think they’re in the mood for such bold initiatives.
