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.

The Nokia Scentsory concept phone has got to be one of the most original devices I’ve seen on the Internet. It was first spotted in 2006 and news about this prototype were scarce, at least till now, when we get a chance to take a second peak at the handset designed by Kimberly Hu.
Scentsory is a flexible handset and an ultra-thin one that comes with a couple of sensors which can translate odors into information. This process also works in reverse, as you send the info to another Scentsory device and it turns data into … odor. High tech and mobile phones were all about visual and audio experiences, but now things have reached a new level, so we can stimulate our senses once more thanks to this concept.
The handset includes 2 displays, an LED touchpad, stereo speakers, a camera and a temperature sensor. Sadly there’s no way such a device can make it to mass production, for now… Who knows if Nokia will ever pick up the scent of this beauty and allow us to experience some mobile olfactive delight?
