The Nokia N-XT concept phone is the product of a man that LOVES cellphones and mobile tech, Christexaport, as he’s known in the Symbian-freak forum. He recently wrote a bold letter to Mr. Ukko Lappalainen, the head of Nokia’s Nseries segment, including some images of his concept phone. Here’s one of them:
Christexaport knows how to point out each flaw and each achievement of the Finns in the past years, but also stated what he wants from the N Series devices of 2008. As for the N-XT handset, this is a true beauty with a very, very appealing spec sheet that includes a 4.1″ touchscreen display, a DLP 720p projector, an 1800 mAH battery and an Assisted-GPS with compass.
Add an 8 megapixel camera to that list and couple it Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus, user controlled optical zoom depth, face detection, dual LED and Xenon Flash plus WVGA video capture (30 fps).
The Nokia N-XT is basically a mobile multimedia computer, rather than your average smartphone and it’s designed for media sharing and creation. It uses the innovative transforming slider form factor you can see in the images attached to this article. The sliding part can move upward, forward and atop the handset, in a T shape, an idea that would go perfectly with the successor of the N96.
The internal specs list of the device looks reasonably well: 160 MB RAM, 256 MB phone memory, 24 GB internal storage space, microSDHC slot, dedicated GPU (made by Nvidia, maybe?) and dedicated Audio DSP. As far as connectivity goes, we’ve got Firewire, Bluetooth, WiFi, microUSB 2.0, HDMI out and quadband WCDMA.
We must mention that we fully support Christexaport’s initiative and hope that Nokia will use his design in order not only to perfect the N Series devices, but to upgrade the entire smartphone industry.

Don’t expect a Nokia BMW phone to land in the shops too soon, as it usually takes some time for two tech giants to cooperate, specially after the Bochum scandal, that left many German workers jobless.
As for the beautiful design you can check out below, it pertains to Evgen Designer and it features GPS navigation and a powerful camera.
The Nokia BMW comes with an interesting “push to open” mechanism that makes its display rotate 90 degrees turning the whole device into a handycam. Notice the original camera placement? Sony would probably love to invent something like this…

There’s absolutely no info online about the Nokia s7 phone concept designed by Han Rhyu, but we’ll try to take a lucky guess. The “Experience Navigator” branding clearly points out that we’re dealing with a GPS-based device, while the picture shows a neat touchscreen with a not so hot interface.
As for the form of the device, it would rather suit an MP3 player/phone Nokia product than a Navigator, but I guess we’ll live with that.

After seeing that hot touchscreen Nokia handset the other day, it’s time for yet another neat concept, the Nokia N40, designed by Carlos Montes de Oca and Amed Avila. Strangely enough, the N40 ditches Symbian in favor of Windows Mobile and features a frontal VGA video call camera.
We’re talking about a sliding smartphone with an LCD display, a 3.2 megapixel camera, a music player and a joystick. Am I the only one who thinks that Google Android would better suit the N40?

This is so not the Nokia Tube/XpressMusic 5800, that it becomes quite an interesting handset, after being constantly fed info about the upcoming Nokia hit. Designed by Ulisses Gardim, the concept phone features an SD card slot, a touchscreen display and a camera.
Bluetooth, a video and audio player are also among its specs, but that’s the max we can figure out from these two images. I have to say it again, this is a serious approach to the whole “Nokia touchscreen device” thing, but it might just me being shocked by a touch-based handset without rounded edges (noticed that most touchscreen phones feature that design?).

We usually try to avoid the extra sci-fi concepts, in order to check out the more realistic ones, but this one’s too funny. Nokia 6639 is something that would probably never hit the streets this decade or the next.
It features a Swiss army knife, a zippo lighter and a digital SLR camera (double digit megapixels) plus Photoshop. Notice that ton of brands in the picture above. Imagine Sony Ericsson and Nokia working on the same device… I can pretty much imagine what each company contributed to the Nokia 6639 cameraphone, but what’s Volkswagen doing there?

Since day 1 of this site I’ve seen slim sliders, “phat” touchscreen smartphones and sci-fi handsets, but none of them impressed as much as the Nokia 888. It’s not the piece of news of the day, but it’s a nice concept to glance at, every once in a while.
Nokia 888 is targeted at young consumers, active ones and comes with a liquid battery, speech recognition, a flexible touchscreen and a touch sensitive body cover. The latter allows the device to adapt to its surrounding environment, shifting its shape as required.
This Nokia concept phone can easily be turned into a bracelet, a head band or any other sort of accessory.
Talk about ergonomic… the 888 changes shape and looks like a mobile phone when you need to call someone or receive a call. This Nokia wonder also uses an original E-motions technology, that allows you to show your emotions electronically. How? By sending forms to your friends, shaped like hearts or maybe you want to send a dancing form to start a party.
This is the tip of flexibility if you ask me and we have to thank Tamer Nakisci for the great idea.

There are few concept phones that remain in the memory of tech geeks and Nokia Aeon is one of them. It may be the touchscreen or the sci-fi look, but it’s there in our heads and waiting to be released. The latest piece of news is that it already exists, at least in the Nokia labs, so we’ve got an Aeon coming soon folks.
The only proof of the statement above is a picture, more or less fake that shows a handset with touchscreen displays and a removable bottom part. This part could be the Nokia interactive touch keypad we’re eager to see in action.
Before we get the official word from Nokia, let’s remember what Aeon was like when we first saw it:

Yesterday I revealed to you the Express, Feel and Share Nokia phones, designed by Provoke and available in a New York exhibition starting this weekend. Now it’s time for some extra pics of the beautiful handsets and some info about them.
One of the most beautiful devices designed for 2012 is the Express concept phone (above), that allows the user to change the color of his/her handset electronically, according to the mood he/she’s in.
The Share concept, on the other side will be designed for specific groups, who like to share information and communicate through codes and symbols. It’s a totally urban concept, that supports content tagging and the Share device you can see below is customized for skateboarders.
Last but not least comes the Feel concept handset (below), aimed at couples who like to communicate in a personal and intense manner. Imagine feeling the touch of your loved one, as the phone supports advanced tactile feedback. Will he/she be able to tickle you with the aid of the Nokia device?

Score one for the great designers! Wait a minute, is this thing real? We’re lacking official announcements, even rumours, so we can only suppose that this is a concept phone, although we with it wasn’t. Nokia’s finally using a new design style, probably inspired by the handsets drawn by their fans…
Of course the device will be a music phone with a brilliant player, multimedia keys and an unique input mechanism on the front which I can assume is some sort of touch pad, or maybe a “touch wheel” a la iPod.
The flaw of Nokia’s beauty? “Too much a phone” above that tiny keypad… I would surely drop such a handset on the floor, by mistake of course.
