With all these people desiring their perfect phone I would love to see a design competition.
Could be just a small picture with a small description.

Maybe one that could last a month with a tiny little esato goodie bag at the end.
All the Moderators or even laffen could judge?

...or too lame??

@Lembo

That's a jolly good idea. It would be very interesting to see what ideas people would have. Should there be different categories e.g. smartphone, clamshells, etc or just a general category, in which the best design for any type of mobile wins?

I've got a few... but they're just drawn. Will post once I get the chance to take a few pics. But maybe the prize could be the ability to change one's avatar. That would be pretty cool...

Here's my contribution for now. I suck at making up totally new renderings (that is without copying existing phones) on the computer so I just drew a bit and did a simple, yet tedious outline on the computer. These aren't high end though, just good looking (I think) and mass market phones from me!

Presenting the K550i/W570i, the real successor to the K500:



JOYpad not WOEstick
176x220 256k TFT screen, 1.9 inch
103mm x 46mm x 18mm
1.3 megapixel camera with flash
LOUD Stereo Speakers (there's meant to be one on the side)
Bluetooth
Memory expansion M2
Activity and Web/Walkman buttons on side
Active lens cover

Basically a candybar version of the W550i with a bigger screen and memory expansion. The orange part is a slightly bulged up part of the phone that glows orange. This aids with keypad tactility and you can change the colour of the backlight to suit your mood. The lens cover is a 'fake' speaker cover which you slide down to use.

And the low-end S300:


Miniature swivel maybe slider
84mm x 42mm x 20mm
176x220 65k TFT screen, 1.8 inch
Bluetooth
NO camera
30MB of fixed memory
A pay as you go phone with great screen for low price.

OK, this took me about 2 hours, heres what i've designed.

Basically took a w810 and turned it into a stylish slider. Had to COMPLETELY re-do the back of the phone, its basically fully airbrushed on photoshop. I've used the w900 camera, with the orange mirror and microphones from the w810. The screen has been increased in size. When the phone is closed it looks very simple and elegant. When slid open, the camera and buttons are revealed.

I'd buy one




Posted by leeboy13
you didnt design that did you snow? id buy myself one of those

**add- i just noticed that the it slides...... nice but i thought it was gonna dual slide... that would be sweet.... if it parted part and in teh middle is the keeypad (on front) and on the rear is the camera... now thats what im liking teh sound of....... **

Yup I did design that. Started with a pic of a w810 from mobilereview.com and changed it, then added some bits from the w900.

And thats actually a good idea... a dual slide phone ... hmm, might have a go at one later...

Posted by leeboy13
Fair play to you then mate, that looks nice

And the dual has really got me thinking...... it could hide, include the opitcal lens, where by opening the slide it comes out.... nice... like them lil flashy cameras.....



Posted by Syrus_20
@snow - nice work mate, im sure some SE designer gonna nick it from here and make some dosh on it now lol

Posted by snowdevl
