Sony mylo.

2007-08-20T16:08:00.000Z

37 signals says it is up for grabs, because for more functions than actually making a call, the UI sucks. Some are hoping for a new iPhone, Mike Arrington likes the upcoming Sony mylo.
That just looks like a mixture of PS2 controller and senso toy to me. It looks big, heavy and not like something I want to hold to my head (or can jam between head and shoulder).Really people, if you want to create a device that people will love to use for calling people, listening to music, surfing the web on the fly, you have to realise that that is something that no device has done successfully in the past. Therefore, don't use models of the past...

Touch your caller by phone

2007-08-10T00:41:00.000Z

The idea that you could identify a caller by some combination of touch and smell reminds me of the amazing capabilities of science fiction writer Frederik Pohl's Joymaker, a combination phone and PDA from his prescient 1966 novel The Age of the Pussyfoot. In the novel, Forrester is brought back to life from cryonic storage; he is not quite prepared for the capabilities of his Joymaker phone, which politely asks if he is ready to pick up his message from a Miss Bensen.

Sony Ericsson concept Cell phone

2007-04-23T21:57:00.000Z

Knowing his love for new phones, one of his friend sent to him a mail informing that Sony Ericsson will launch this phone soon. This phone doesn’t exist at all and is just a mock. Looks nice and the creator puts an imaginary 2GB storage, 3.2 megapixel camera, radio and bunch of other features in this sleek phone. But who is “HE”? Who care?

Black Diamond from Sony Ericsson

2007-04-20T21:51:00.000Z

This new Black Diamond concept is looking incredibly hot, especially the “borderless screen” effect. This was achieved by throwing on a layer of polycarbonate, coupled with integrated a screen based on OLED technology.

Although candybar style handsets might not be as popular as swiveling, sliding, or flipping phones, this Black Diamond idea can certainly grow into those form factors down the line, much like how the RAZR morphed into a SLVR.Not much is known about the Black Diamond handset designed by Jaren Goh, but based on the snapshots, it should include a 4.0 megapixel camera. The usual stuff will probably also be included, like Bluetooth support and all that jazz. The Diamond cell phone is definitely a luxury phone. However, its not on the market… YET. It should be released around the beginning of 2007 by the company VIPN. Their website offers a special edition which made out with real diamonds and titanium, all for the small price tag of $300,000… FREAKING WOW.

Visionaries from design firm Pilotfish and sensor maker Synaptics have created a phone that has no buttons. It's operated with gestures. Designer Manon Maneenawa has built a phone that can be converted into an alarm clock or a wrist watch.

Nokia Open, Cell Phone of the future ?

2007-04-11T21:27:00.000Z

Not sure if this Nokia concept cell phone will ever be for sale, if it does I will be first in line for it.

“The “Nokia Open” is/would be a cell phone that opens like a fan with a “scrollable touch screen,” which seems to be an essential-yet-nonexistent item that would need to be invented in order for this to work. The idea is that with the push of a button the thin phone opens up, revealing a spacious screen on which buttons and menu options appear for you to manipulate with your digits. All well and good, but a cell phone that appears before you on the wings of a magical eagle would be cool too, though I’m not expecting Nokia to start marketing it anytime soon.”

Nokia Aeon Touch Screen Phone Concept

2007-03-31T01:05:00.000Z

If this model by Nokia hit the market, its gonna be the next RAZR. Code name Aeon, it features a “full surface touchscreen” display that replaces the traditional keypad. Currently it is still in conceptual stage and rumours has it that it will hit the market next year. The design looks futuristic, which is a big surprise because Nokia tend to design big bulky phone when the whole world gone crazy over slim phones.

Hitachi clam

2007-03-31T00:57:00.000Z

The phone was on display at the ITU Telecom Asia 2000 (which was held in Hong Kong between December 4 and 9). It is really clam-like, and compared to Motorola's clamshell design, it is as different as day and night.

Recycled phones you can throw away without guilt

2007-03-31T00:55:00.000Z

Guess what, someone in the US is coming up with a US$10 phone that is only as thick as a stack of three credit cards pressed together, and is made from recycled paper products.
The phone is disposable too -- after 60 minutes of use, and you can charge the extra calling time via credit card.
So, if you ever see an ad offering mobile phones at nutty prices (some time in the third quarter of this year but were just guessing) you'd be right to guess it's for a Phone-Card-Phone.

2007-03-31T00:52:00.000Z

Another egg-head. But this time, the machine is flat and elliptical in shape. Emphasis is placed on video-conferencing -- that's why a large screen is specifically featured as part of the device.

We call it the egg-terminal, even though it is known in Nokia's top secret research circles as the 3G Terminal Concept III. It looks like a PDA-phone, that much we can tell. The champagne-colored device has a colorful iconic interface that is a pleasure to look at, even though the picture presumably shows a mock-up phone that hasnt hatched any electronics yet.
