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.

So many Nokia handsets in the headline above, that your head is probably spinning by now, but no faster than a G-Unit bling-bling. Why did I bring those rappers up? Just look at the following handset’ s logo, the one of the series… doesn’t it remind you of the G-Unit “font”? Nokia Mc36 is an “Mc series” phone that can be considered a hybrid between Nokia 3650 and the 6630 model.
The beauty below was designed by Mohamad Moraa ‘D, from Tehran, Iran and published on Coroflot.
The keypad looks pretty nice, as it’s a combination between a smartphone’s typical keyboard and a keypad. Don’t quite know how functional it can be, but hey this is a concept, so, as far as looks go, I’m pleased with that. Nokia Mc36 features a VGA camera, for videocalls, so it’s a 3G device and we’ll add to its specs list a 3.1 MP camera that comes with a decent Flash Light.
A semicircle-shaped speaker completes this phone and it’s placed above the phone’s main camera. Will we see this on the market? I sure, hope … G!

Nokia 101 is yet another product for 2015, seemingly the ideal year for passing to a new generation of mobile phones. Morph is also destined for that year, but let’s see what Nokia 101 brings new. Designed by Giandaniele Asquini and the product of research and collaboration with Nokia, this device uses magnets placed on 3 sides of the phone.
These magnets create new and original hinges and allow the handset to morph into an address book, a normal phone or various other devices. The magnet-based mechanism allows the Nokia 101 display to rotate freely and I wonder if it’s a touchscreen or it’s based on E-paper technology (or maybe both?).
As you can see, Nokia 101 is perfect for web surfing and it features handwriting recognition, also being the ideal handset for messaging. Last, but not least, you can admire the phone as it follows the latest trends and “collides” with another Nokia 101, with the aid of magnets, creating a bigger display, used to play games like Need for Speed or watch quality TV.
Also, it’ll create a decent notebook, for you to write your homework on or just blog. These designs were exposed at the Air Gallery in London in May 2006.
Loading ...Nokia-branded concepts really are some of the best I’ve seen so far. The Helsinki concept phone bears this branding and manages to take camera-phones back in time a bit, through its curved design, but it also adds a 3.2 MP camera to the sexy look. It was designed by Phil Bartoszewicz and spotted on Coroflot.
Comfortable and ergonomic, this handset only has a minor flaw (for me, at least): its navigational key tends to be a bit too “3D” for my tastes. Call me crazy, but nothing compares to the feeling of a flat front surface of a phone, specially when it’s in the pocket of some tight jeans. Wouldn’t like to be poked by a bigger key, would you?

Is it OK if I say that I’m a fan of this fan-shaped Nokia concept? Although it seems borrowed from Star Trek or Minority Report, this handset might as well be the future of all mobile phones, now that we’re fantasizing about devices like the Morph.
Nokia “Open” (if that’s the name of the concept) features a flexible LCD and supports 4G connectivity. It can easily be considered a device that one-ups the Morph or the Nokia 888 or just another piece of Goa’uld technology that we’ll never get our hands on.

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.
