concept

Check this out. This is a new eco-phone concept that won the first place in the Istanbul Design Week 2007.

The device consists of eco-friendly materials and can be folded into a “packet”, as you can see it looks like an unfolded pattern with a screen and keypads.

An original design indeed.

Here a cool and original concept of a phone designed specifically for those, who use cell phones only for talking.

This contraption is called Hand phone, and was created by an Italian industrial designer Biodomotica. By the looks of it, the device doesn't seem to be very comfortable, especially for us, who hold the phone in a traditional manner. In addition, judging by the presence of a small screen and a set of keys I can tell it can also send SMS messages.

Personally, I think this is the best Sony PSP phone concept yet! Just look at it. It has a sliding keypad, or rather a game controller, which you can hide under the touch-sensitive screen whenever you quit playing and use the device as a phone.

Sony Ericsson, why don't you guys take this model into consideration? It's a real gold mine, people! Don't get

This is the new Sony Ericsson C1i Concept created by the guys from Esato.

Looks pretty cool, especially its new touchscreen UIQ interface. :)

Here's a new RIM Blackberry concept, a phone with an angular keypad, which, according to the company, should make things easier for users.

The same design will also be used for touch-sensitive keypads of future Blackberry models. Apart from that, Blackberrys will also come with LG Shine-like scrollers.

Hate typing text messages while wearing winter gloves?

We know you do. Well then check this out: this is the new Polar, a concept phone designed especially for that purpose. Its keypad is much larger than usual and should ease a bit typing in winter conditions.

Still, the handset looks big and unhandy, but it's a good start anyway.

Here's another Nokia phone concept, called the Nokia Eco Sensor.

The device consists of two parts: a cell phone, and a watch bracelet that monitors the weather, user's health and environment conditions and transfers the collected data to the handset via Bluetooth.

Nice, but not impressive.

Here's a new user made concept of a Sony Ericsson mobile phone. This model is called K1i and will probably never appear on the store shelves as manufacturers usually don't pay any attention on their costumers' conceptual ideas, even good ones.

Here's what this virtual device offers:

Sony Ericsson came up with an idea of a new dual-slider handset that will feature a single pop-out mechanism including both QWERTY keyboard layout and the numeric keypad instead of two separate ones.

It will slide out lengthwise to become a keyboard and widthwise to reveal just the keypad when you hold the phone vertically.

The phone you see on the picture is the new MOMO DESIGN MD-2. It looks really cool, offers pretty impressive features, and could become a big hit when it ships.
