Futuristic Phones !!!

January 25, 2009 · Leave a Comment

1 . Nokia 888 Communicator
Nokia definitely has the most interesting concept phones. Nokia 888 Communicator is a striking futuristic concept phone. The phone, which uses liquid batteries, speech recognition, flexible touchscreen and touch-sensitive body cover,is designed by Tamer Nakisci and won the Nokia Design Award

Nokia Aeon was presented by Nokia on their website in the Research & Development section. What is so great about this phone is that it looks like it will actually go into production next February. Of course, its just a rumor, but still, makes us hope to actually see it someday in the GSM shop. All we know about it for now is that its a touchscreen phone and it looks fantastic.

3 . Sky “Sleak n Slim”

“Sleek & Slim” from SKY is another concept based on touchscreen technology. The phone has a discretely glowing touchpad, hideaway keys and generally utterly-fashionable minimalist design.

4 . Benq-Siemes “Snaked”
Benq designers thought of women too and presented Snaked. This is a “reptile” looking phone, creepy somehow, but still is very cool. The Snaked is a fashion phone for sport loving women, because it also has body monitoring sensors to help the ladies keep those fine shapes.

5 . What You See is What You Get Concept
One thing is for sure about this concept phone…they could’ve named it shorter. Designed by Pei-Hua Hang, the phone’s name comes from the fact that this concept no longer uses an LCD as viewfinder for the digital camera, instead it uses a transparent frame. And of course, interaction is made through a touchscreen

6 . Retroxis By Dark Label
If most phones presented here will never be sold in store for sure, the Retroxis concept phone from Dark Label looks kinda human, and makes us hope we’ll be able to get one of these one day. Designed by Lim Sze Tat the phone is encased in high polished polycarbonate renowned for its lightweight and toughness and has an invisible OLED display that silently hides away when inactive.

7 . Benq-Siemens “The Blackbox”
Black Box designed by Benq-Siemens uses a touch screen as its keypad and, depending on the functions you are using, the touch screen changes the control layout immediately.

9 . TripleWatch
Though the idea of a cellphone watch is not so new, the TripleWatch designed by Manon Maneenawa has an interesting triple flip technique that allows the user to transform the watch into a normal cellphone. When used as a wrist watch, the phone has a speaker button that allows the user to answer the phone and hang up while driving.

SONICBOMB Bed-Shaking Alarm Clock

There are occasions we all need a little help getting out of bed, especially on cold winter mornings with work beckoning. For those of us that need a little extra nudge the Sonic Boom Bed Shaking Alarm Clock is just what the doctor (or maybe the boss) ordered!

Racking up a massive 113 decibels in volume, to put that into perspective a pneumatic drill registers at 110 decibels, this ultra-loud sonic alarm is a dead cert to wake even the living impaired (Zombies or teenagers to you and me). But it doesn’t stop there, just to make sure, the Sonic Bomb alarm clock, also comes with a viciously effective vibrating pad which is to be inserted under your mattress to shake you out of bed and onto the floor.

Luckily the alarm clock also comes with all the functions you would expect such as snooze button, battery back-up, Red LED display for night visibility, as well as a handy volume control for if you don’t need the alarm at full power (or if the neighbours start complaining!).

Perfect for anyone who’s fond of the infamous “Just five more minutes” this is one alarm clock that can’t fail to wake you up and get you ready and alert for the day ahead.

T-Sketch: T-Shirt with Illuminated Message Panel.

The T-sketch t-shirt allows you to display a personalized message in a fun and cool way – whatever you write or draw on the chest display will be converted into an illuminated message or design.

Anything that’s drawn on the wipe-clean panel activates a glowing light beneath so that it lights up. You can also change the flashing sequence to suit your preference – from a gentle glow right through to a pulsing strobe.

Concept: Water Powered Cellphones

Samsung has come up with a brilliant fuel cell that can be powered by water. The company claims that the battery life of this hydrogen generator fuel cell exceeds conventional ones.

Water powered batteries could be best suited for cell phones and other mobile devices. Since water is readily available everywhere this technological invention can extend your mobility further.

According to Samsung, the concept uses some mystic alloy that reacts with water to produce hydrogen. The hydrogen further reacts with oxygen in the air to generate power.

This micro-fuel cell can generate 3 watts of electricity. Your mobile phone can run for 10 hours with this battery. This is twice as long as your rechargeable batteries.

The conventional fuel cells need methanol to generate hydrogen. The new technology cuts down the requirement to water which is quite cheap and easily available.

Samsung says that you can expect handsets using these long life water powered batteries in 2010.

World’s Most Expensive Cell Phone.

Owning customized cell phone is one among the best way to show your worth. Those folks who are urging to add one more to their collection should really check this one before finalising the deal.

Le Million, as the manufacturers name it, is made out of red, yellow and white gold. This phone is further glamorised by encrusted diamonds of 120 carats. To make it look stunning, the backboard is covered with most expensive crocodile leather. This awesome phone is manufactured by a Swedish company, GoldVish.

The technical characteristics of this phone bear no importance in this context as it is overshadowed by its beauty. And of course it comes with a surprisingly shocking price tag, 1.43 million dollars. If you want to own this, be in a hurry since this limited edition phone will be sold to only three people in the whole world.
