Here is an interesting concept phone by those boffins at Kddi Japan,called the "Vols" i have no clue what that means,my own interpretation would be that it speaks "Vol-umes"

ESATO NEWS

Speaks "volumes" on its design and form factor that is,I don't believe anything like thas has been done before as far as i know,where the screen slots in and pops out.Needless to say i like the idea,flip phones have always offered protection for the screen from scratching and general wear and tear,this i believe maybe the way forward for candybar handsets,i've no clue either if this will ever go into production but I could almost see a Sony Ericsson badge on this.

Please explain yourself when you say it's not smart. I actually thinking the designers of this phone took some queues from Nokia's 8800 and took the concept slightly further...I can see something like this being available in about 18 months...no more scratches/smudges on unprotected screens.
