This Sony Ericsson phone concept by Karsten Willmann has all the basics of “phone concepts 101″ down. You’ve got the high contrast OLED display. You’ve got the really thin form factor. And then there’s the number key pad and soft keys sitting nearly flush with the surface.

But what’s really interesting is the bulge protruding from its center-back, hiding a camera and flashlight. Lay it on a table and the screen stays angled just enough so legibility isn’t an issue. source:yankodesign www.creative-brain.com

nice to see all these concepts. still i think the whole mobile phone thing will evolve a completely new form factor. soon we wont need keys...

I'd rather see new models


anyways, I'm not a huge fan of this concept. a bit ugly imo.

Yeah, nice idea but I would like to see more reasonable concepts, similar to what we see in our photoshop thread.

seems to weak for me. it is not for hard-typing nor playing games such as Splinter Cell

I hope not! I dont no about you but I certainly dont want to carry a little stick every were I go to make a call!
I personaly think keys give you more freedome!

It would have be something really radical for us to give up entering info by means other than our fingers. Keypads and keyboards will be with us for a while.
Speech recognition isn't 100% foolproof yet.
May be a solution that uses a combination of both speech and facial recognition would give the best results - like 'mouthing' the words into the phones videocall camera.
It wouldn't surprise me if this was already in development; somewhere in Japan probably?
