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?

We’re familiar with the Provoke Design name, since we last saw their brilliant interface showing us the true power of touchscreen displays. Now we’ve spotted a prototype image of theirs showing a pretty neat touchscreen device. Provoke is known to work closely with Nokia, so with a bit of speculation this phone might turn out to be the Nokia Tube.
Pass me that huge grain of salt, will you?

While CeBIT 2008 is in full bloom in Germany, Microsoft’s got an internal event of its own, the TechFest fair, an excellent opportunity for showing off new technologies and concepts like the Microsoft Lucid Touch. This prototype device can be controlled with the aid of the user’s fingers, which will “multi-touch” (is this a new verb?) the device from behind.
As you control this device, you’ll be able to still see your fingers, due to the pseudo-transparency technology. You’re not using a semitransparent handset, instead you’ll be seeing a image of your hands which creates such an illusion. Keep in mind that Lucid Touch supports multi-touch input, so you’ll be using all your fingers to play some fancy RTS on your tablet.
This great concept comes as a response to the people frustrated by small screens and thick fingers, getting in the way of the devices’ user friendliness.

After a prolific announcement session at Mobile World Congress 2008, Sony Ericsson seems to be readying yet another device, seemingly leaked thanks to the folks of the SE4M forums. The handset is branded “SE 123″ meaning it’s only a prototype for now, but I have to say that this is quite a strange design for a SE device.
I dig that metal finish and I have to say that the handset looks like a mid-range or even low-end device, but it seems rather thick, if you ask me.

Ever wanted to control your cellphone with one hand only? Ever tried doing that and ended up writing poor text messages? Thought so. Mitsumi now has a sollution for you, materialized in the haptic input device you can see in the following image.
This device will be placed on the rear of your handset and it will basically give you one-handed control for your phone. The prototype is a tad thicker than we would have expected but Mitsumi promised to release a thinner commercial version. Meanwhile, as Engadget mentions, Mitsumi’s concept includes “a sheet with small protrusions, a resistance sensitive touch pad and switches”.
