This Nokia concept phone may look familiar to you, specially because we’ve seen it here a while back, under the name Black Facet. Now, it appears again, dubbed Nokia Facet and this seems to be the work of Knot Design, a cellphone project that provides users with a brand new touch experience.
Nokia Facet uses “facets” that hide a tactile keypad beneath the surface and also give the handset a gem-like look, thanks to the many angles of the geometric surface. Multimedia connectivity is also supported on the Nokia concept and if we were to look for flaws, the device seems a bit too square-ish and short for our taste.

It’s been a while since we last saw a Nokia concept phone, but we’re glad to finally check out an original device of this kind. Designed by Diego Peralta, the Nokia B-FLOW phone is inspired by the Brazilian culture, costumes and landscape. The device combines both the Finnish classic design and Brazilian curves.
Of course, we’re dealing with a Nokia touchscreen phone and we learn that B-FLOW set a relaxed design tone and comes with an original curvy lateral design. Its case is inspired by the “hues of a summer sunset at the Copacabana beach”, as claimed by the designer. Also, we learn the case was made using a three layered co injection of polycarbonate.
The base layer is orange, followed by a translucent pearl white layer and finally a transparent coating on top. There’s also a camera lens on board, hidden by a photopolymer screen, that can become transparent, once the camera is turned on. Nokia B-FLOW can be customized according to the user’s need and it also comes with social networking features.
With all of these details and photos, it’s hard to believe that this device is only a concept…

Yes, you’ve read it right: Nokia Aeon might be the handset that appears a couple of times in the new motion picture Echelon Conspiracy. In case you haven’t got the time and patience to watch the movie, we provide some shots from it, showing the mystery device and there’s even a trailer featuring the phone below.
This handset, known as GZT 650 resembles Nokia Aeon very much and its front side is divided into 2 segments, just like on the famous Nokia concept. The two segments are separated by a metallic stripe and the upper side of the display is transparent, like the keypad of the LG GD900 phone.
During Echelon Conspiracy there’s a scene where the device’s screen is shown and we can get a glimpse of its options: messaging, mail, search, calendar, a weather app, a browser, stocks and settings. Since Nokia 5800 XpressMusic surfaced in “The Dark Knight“, could GZT 650 be an upcoming Nokia touchscreen phone as well?
Don’t forget to check out the movie’s trailer below (bad movie though):

Well, touchscreen had met low end before, but never under Nokia branding. The Finns only have a high end device (the N97) and a music phone that can be placed on the borderline between high end and mid end, both featuring a touchscreen. But what about low end phones packing such displays?
Here’s the so-called “Nokia Ultra Low Touch” concept, a pretty basic handset with a touchscreen on board.
Notice the presence of a flashlight function and a design that reminds me of Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, but somewhat on the “iPod nano” side of things. Real or fake?

It’s been a while since I’ve seen such a good-looking Nokia concept phone! And now, we’ve got Nokia 5900 Monoir on our hands, courtesy of designer András Nemes, who envisioned this device. The new Nokia handset packs a 3.5 inch touchscreen TFT LCD (16:9; 260 x 640 pixels) and uses Symbian S60 5th Edition.
Under the case you’ll find an ARM 11 369 MHz CPU, 1GB of SDRAM memory and a GPS receiver. Nokia 5900 Monoir also features a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, dual LED flash and VGA video recording (30 fps), plus WiFi, dual band 3G with HSDPA and quad band GSM support.
Nokia Maps 2.0 Touch is also on board and the device incorporates a microSD slot, TV out, FM radio with RDS, Bluetooth and USB 2.0. 5900 Monoir ships with an 8GB card, uses a 3.5mm audio jack, provides excellent audio quality via Dolby Mobile and uses a proximity sensor in order to turn the screen on and off automatically.
The handset’s QWERTY keyboard is an on-screen landscape virtual one and as far as gaming is concerned, you’ll be using an accelerometer sensor for automatic UI rotation and motion-based games. The specs list of the superb Nokia 5900 Monoir ends with an Office document viewer and OVI, MySpace integration.
For more info on the works of András Nemes, check out this site and know that we’re really stunned by the great design of this brand new Nokia touchscreen handset. When will it become real?!

Well, I haven’t seen a Nokia F Series till now, but who knows what the future holds, as we approach a potential announcement of the Tube handset. This touchscreen device is dubbed the F700 and looks like something LG would design. As for the real artist behind this Nokia concept phone, all we’ve got is something like “vb vella”.
Quite a thick slider we’re dealing with and I’m betting on an accelerometer under that “hood”.

Did you know that the long awaited Nokia Tube or the 5800 XpressMusic handset was not the company’s first full touchscreen phone? I’ve seen this claim on lots of blogs and I thought so too, till I stumbled upon this piece of info on Symbian-Freak.com.
Seems that the 2003-launched Nokia 7710 was a full touchscreen smartphone as well, but it was discontinued at some point.
Notice the huge difference between a Nokia Tube prototype wannabe (left) and the 7710 (right). Ever used one of those?

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?).

Seems that most awaited handset of the year, the Nokia Tube touchscreen phone, was leaked on Flickr, where it showed up with its beautiful black case and not too many details. The Flickr user J. Blade made those pics public and he mentions that the handset will be available in January 2009.
We’ve named it Nokia Tube, the Tube, Nokia 5800, Nokia XpressMedia 5800, but now it goes as Nokia 5800 X-Press Music C. All we know is that this device is a prototype, without a battery, but there seems to be a 3 megapixel camera at the back of the phone and a Carl Zeiss lens to complete the specs.
Nokia refused to comment on this story, as they usually never talk about rumours or speculation. Is this the real thing? Disappointed, are we?

OK, so the Nokia N78 phone really exists, but what if it didn’t? It could have looked like Mohamad Moradi’s concept below, sporting a beautiful touchscreen and touch interface. The weird thing about this phone is that it somehow manages to look “upside down” and avoid the iPhone-ish design.
I have to say that the N78 concept must be a slider, judging from the looks, but I’m wondering if it’s a 3G slider, in order to make it a real iPhone rival.
