We’re dealing with a handset that comes with an e-ink screen that can also display information on the side of the device. More than that, the phone also includes a sliding keyboard, aside from the touchscreen plus indents that make the handset easy to pick up.

General Assembly designed a couple of concept phones for Microsoft, redefining the nature of handsets that use Windows Mobile operating systems. There aren’t any details about these handset available right now, except for what you can see for yourself.

The devices feature extremely powerful cameras so they’re some sort of cameraphone/smartphone hybrids that we’ll dig’ once we get to touch them. Enough with the chatter and let’s let the pictures speak for themselves:

We’ve heard about dual-touchscreen devices, about dual-SIM handets and even about phones that can use up to 3 SIMs, but a dual-device is surely new for us. Couple-IT is basically a twin gadget, that includes a dual-touchscreen cellphone and a laptop-style smartphone, introduced for the first time at , in Barcelona.

Each of them uses a SIM, but all of your content and information will be stored on both devices, as they’re permanently synchronized with the aid of the network in use. This concept was created by Alloy and it seems to be a sollution for those seeking an alternative to the Palm Foleo, or just another companion to ease your work. The dual-touchscreen handset is a clamshell device, while the “mini-laptop” is an ultracompact smartphone.

Truth be told I fancy the clamshell phone more than the smartphone, as I was never a fan of companion devices and PDAs, in the era of handset shrinkage and slimmer phones.
