Nokia Essence is a concept that doesn’t stray at all from the basic idea of the phone: connecting people globally via all the means possible. Created by Siriphong Roongruengvuthikul, this Nokia concept supports the management of the user’s connections in two fashions: locally and globally.
In the local range you’ll connect all your devices in a single network, either via pairing, Internet or both. Nokia Essence will provide a global connection joining two or more users in a single global network. As far as design goes, the handset is basic and simple, sporting a switch at each end, with the top one being used to turn on and off the local connection.
The bottom switch handles the global connection and sharing with others. This phone is about calling people and connecting to them and getting more into the hardware, we find that the shells can slide over and unveil the number dialing buttons, with the numeric pad being very comfortable. A nifty feat is that if you press and hold the number 5 key a menu will appear.
On the back there’s an original touchpad, that can be used to control many applications and even other wireless gadgets. Incredible? Yes! Futuristic Nokia? Not so much, since the Finns can pull this off even today.

Gregory Pizzatto couldn’t have found a better time to design this Nokia Touch BlackBerry concept, with the aim of the product being the year 2015. Right now both Nokia and RIM are struggling to find a direction and if they join heads and maybe also include Windows Phone in the mix they’ll make it…
Back to Gregory’s design, we can see here a Nokia for 2015 with a sliding touch area that serves as the keyboard the device. There’s also a menu available for touch on the main area of the device, with icons that resembles the ones in iOS, the older version even. There seems to be a camera at the top of the back side.
The sliding part seems to include a virtual QWERTY keyboard, if I’m not mistaking. I’ll be back in the next days with some other designs from Gregory, this time with Android and a clamshell unit.

How about a touch and type Nokia N10 version, that brings not only a touchscreen display, but also a portrait QWERTY keyboard. The idea comes from Alberto, one of the guys in the Mynokiablog community. This is the Nokia concept number 30 produced by this community.
Nokia N10 touch and type resembles the E6 a bit and comes with a 2.46 inch display and adopts the polycarbonate body of the N9. This model will run either MeeGo Harmattan or Windows Phone, depending on the use’s choice. The keys look pretty comfortable and well spaced, I have to say and this could be a brilliant replacement for the E series devices.
Which one do you like better, the Windows Phone version or the MeeGo Nokia N10?

Shihuzaan has created a brand new Nokia concept, the C9 pictured below that runs Windows Phone 7.5 Mango OS. This handset looks a bit like the iPhone 4, or better said the iPhone 5, considering its tiny bezels and large screen. Some compare it to the Samsung Galaxy handset, but you’ll be the judge of that.
As far as specs are concerned, this handset uses a 4 inch CBD AMOLED display, a quad core A9 CPU and an 8MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics. There’s also a 2 megapixel camera upfront and the Ovi Store on the phone is loaded into the Metro interface, as well as Ovi Maps and Opera Mobile 11. You can get a tile view, classic for WP7 and an app list, that’s already classic on Android.
What do you think? Would an iPhone-like Windows Phone 7 device made by Nokia be a hit?

Clifford Charles created the Nokia 31 concept phone, the touchscreen smartphone you can see below. It comes with a 5 megapixel camera with flash, a 3.5 inch touch display and easy to use interface. The Nokia 31 is a device with a modern look, very straight and thin.
It’s got voice recognition and a beautiful aluminum chassis, that’s already classic for the Nokia N Series devices. What’s interesting is the facade of the device, placed under the screen and looking like a touch surface with commands displayed. Clifford Charles’ design is innovative and could be used on a future Windows Phone 7 Nokia unit, if Microsoft is open-minded enough.

We’re back with the Nokia concepts and this time the N11 brings something extra: a 3D camera and dual core CPU. Nokia N11 is a concept MeeGo gaming phone made by Lonely Cent (Dhivehi Dhari), that adopts the design of the N81/iPhone 4 and brings gaming buttons as extras.
This is a dual OS phone, that uses both MeeGo 1.2 and Symbian, thanks to a dual core 1GHz CPU. 512MB of RAM are also on board, as well as 16GB of internal memory, a microSD card slot and the usual Nokia anodized aluminum casing. The display upfront if a CBD 4 inch AMOLED unit with a 800 x 480 pixel resolution.
3D image capture and a removable battery complete the specs list and you must notice that the images included in this article also show the front gaming keys on the device, so this makes us think of an N-Gage follow-up.. Would you buy the N11 if it were real?

Frustrated with the lack of quality of Symbian, even in its latest versions people started dreaming about running Android or Windows Phone 7 on Nokia handsets. Right now we’ve got a poster in London showing Nokia devices running Android, but that was an error of the people making the posters… Now let’s see how Windows Phone 7 looks on a Finnish smartphone!
Considering that Nokia’s current CEO was a Microsoft official, it wouldn’t be impossible for future N-Series units to adopt this platform. The following phone is the created of Michal Bonikowski & Rafal Pilat and we’re dealing with magnesium alloy handset running WP7 and featuring an 8MP camera at the back.
The design reminds us of a HTC device, but it also borrows a few traits from Nokia’s trademark back case. Well, we can imagine that this is the Nokia N9 and WP7 got ported on it… right?

Many people are discontent with the current Nokia N8, so they dream about changing the handset and improving its specifications. Iffan Morasilp from Thailand stopped dreaming and started designing, so he created the Nokia N8-01 Touch and Play handset. You’ll learn the specs of the concept after the break.
The smartphone comes with a 3.7 inch Gorilla Glass display, an 8MP Carl Zeiss camera with support for 1080p video capture, a D-pad and gaming keys. HDMI is also on board, as well as support for 4G connectivity and Dolby Digital Plus. It’s very likely that this is a Symbian^3 phone, although most of the Nokia concepts we’ve seen lately are based on MeeGo…

Here’s the Nokia cellphone concept of 2030, in case you wanted a taste of the future… Created by Jim Chan, the Nokia 2030 features a scratch-resistant finished body, plus a full color display and an illuminated touch keypad.
Fast messaging is the purpose of this unit and we learn that the phone measures 2 x 4.75 x 0.25 inches and attaches colored films at the rear, to change its color. Polished titanium is the choice of metal for the case area that protects the screen. This handset looks like some sort of futuristic keycard that grants access to a high tech facility and we bet it’ll have e-wallet features and a transparent UI.

Here’s a more unusual concept this time, the Nokia Wallet X70, shown in the images below and created by the dotekomanie.blog.mobilmania.cz website. We’re dealing with a handset that has wallet functionality and can also make phone calls. It can carry your cash and credit card, write SMS messages, take pictures, it supports GPS functions and includes a music player.
Nokia X70 features two cameras, one for video chat upfront and the other a 5MP unit for photographing and video capture. The latter also incorporates a dual LED flash and the handset comes with nifty specs like a capacitive touchscreen, a full QWERTY keyboard, speakers, WiFi and Bluetooth. The internal memory is 8GB, plus an SD card slot for extra storage.
The OS of choice on this phone is the older S60 5th edition. Would you carry this gizmo inside your pocket?
