Eclipse Intuit Phone by Eddie Goh. Powerful 5 megapixel camera with built-in software for editing and uploading to a photo album, slide-out touch keyboard with tactile feedback, and a nice big touchscreen front and center. What makes this concept unique is parts of the phone are made from a chemically based thin solar skin to charge the battery when exposed to any kind of light.

RKS design consultants of southern California have just introduced their entry into this soon-to-be-ubiquitous mobile platform with this “Mimique” design.

The Mimique is a response to feature-heavy cell phones that look more like PDAs than phones. Playful and engaging, the Mimique’s design marries the heritage of old-school cell phones with next-generation style and touch-screen technology. The Mimique will use the new open-source cell phone software which will allow users to download features and “skins.” With downloadable upgrades, users won’t need to buy a new phone to get new features.

Nokia’s advanced design team today shared “Homegrown”, a long term research project looking at how Nokia can help people make more sustainable choices. The team is exploring specific environmental and social issues including recycling, energy and how to make the benefits of mobile technology available to more people.

People First’s navigation is shallow with minimum use of metaphors and abstractions (folders, applications, etc…) Your personal history of events in maintained in a singular vertical list settling over time, with new content being added at the top of the list.

Sure, there’s plenty of far fetched concept devices from big players like Nokia, but it’s nice to see that folks without millions of dollars in research funding can also come up with equally unrealistic devices, as evidenced by this so-called “Scroll” contraption created by 13 Tech Design

Inspired by the ancient Egyptian and Greek scrolls, the Scroll packs some powerful punches. It is a touchscreen mobile phone with a 10 megapixel camera and 1080p camcorder, built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, advanced multimedia features. Oh, and a full-fledged computer that runs Windows Vista or XP.

The TouchMan cellphone concept can become a piece of furniture which allows its user to communicate in a very personal way with relatives, friends, coworkers, etc.

This cellphone turns into a communication furniture when clicked into the main device at home and let you communicate and share emotions permanently with your friends in an visual way. A mixture of screensaver, instant messanger and aquarium.

Now by LucidTouch, males with big hands not only have more inches under the belt but can also work with bigger screens.

The LucidTouch is a new mobile concept launched by Microsoft and Mitsubishi that gives the end user the ability to control the devise by touching its see-through back; users can choose to manipulate objects by touching a sensor pad on the back of the device which allows them to resize images and texts as well as navigate around any graphical user interface without their hands getting in the way of the
display.

Chris Owens has designed the Edge phone, a phone with glass keypad. It uses light and touch technology to target the style-conscious fashionistas.

The sliding keyboard of it is hidden right under the full touch screen display, and for answering an incoming call you shod slide the glass keyboard out.

In the near future we have to reuse and celebrate what is essentially “above ground”. Thus we explored the use of reclaimed and upcycled materials that could ultimately change the way we make things.Now Nokia aims to make a phone constructed entirely of “nothing new”.

Remade is a concept that explores potential new ideas for the future, and is part of Nokia’s ongoing work looking at how it can help people make more sustainable choices.

The Nokia Remade was revealed at the Mobile World Congress which turned heads.

Now, it is just a very nice idea. It is always interesting to view
concept products. You never know which one will become the next big
thing.

The concept of Nokia Scentsory is quite cool actually. It is a mobile
communication device that works with the senses of smell, sight,
hearing and touch. If the concept goes into production, this phone
could truly revolutionize remote communication and interfacing.

It can also radiate colors, lighting, and temperature from the
caller’s environment. The dual-screen mobile has a LED touchpad,
speakers, hidden camera and temperature sensors. Nanotechnology has
played an important role in development of this new device.

Using highly sophisticated sensors, the electronic ‘nose’ samples the
odor of the caller’s environs and transmits this to the recipient
electronically. Kimberly Hu designs the Scentsory.

The mobile phone is the most common consumer electronic device on the planet.Current concern for the natural environment requires a critical change in the way this popular product is thought about and designed.

P-Per is a concept mobile phone that would satisfy both environmentalists and tech nerds. It explores the many possibilities of sustainable design. It is made of only four layers, with one being an e-paper screen that covers the entire handset.
