X70 Wallet Makes Phone Calls, Carries Cash and Credit Cards
20/02/2011 20:06
Here’s a more unusual concept this time, the Nokia Wallet X70, shown in the images below and created by the dotekomanie.blog.mobilmania.cz website. We’re dealing with a handset that has wallet functionality and can also make phone calls. It can carry your cash and credit card, write SMS messages, take pictures, it supports GPS functions and includes a music player.
Nokia X70 features two cameras, one for video chat upfront and the other a 5MP unit for photographing and video capture. The latter also incorporates a dual LED flash and the handset comes with nifty specs like a capacitive touchscreen, a full QWERTY keyboard, speakers, WiFi and Bluetooth. The internal memory is 8GB, plus an SD card slot for extra storage.
The OS of choice on this phone is the older S60 5th edition. Would you carry this gizmo inside your pocket?

N950 Brings a Twist to the Original Design of the N900
20/02/2011 20:03
Nokia N950 is the creation of Vladimir Zorin, an interesting upgrade of the N900 design. The device is able to slide in two directions, revealing a 3 row QWERTY keyboard in one sliding direction and a numeric pad plus the D Pad segment of the QWERTY slider in the other.
The handset looks pretty bulky and we bet MeeGo would fit right on. The first type of sliding mechanism, shown in the image above is designed rather for nostalgics, than for practical use. Who would need numeric keys once we have a touchscreen and QWERTY keyboard available?

Nokia Phone Design Comes From Russia
20/02/2011 19:59
Vladimir Zorin recently showed us one of his Nokia concept phones, that has yet to receive a name. This original device is far from the Nokia models we currently known and it adopts a bold and innovative design, using a square screen segment that’s bigger than the main body of the handset.
We suppose that this is in fact a square phone and that the keypad piece is able to rotate underneath the screen, but that’s only our speculation. If so, the display would be a touchscreen and the device would become ideal for tweens. What do you say

E-Cu Phone Converts Heat Into Battery Energy
20/02/2011 19:47
How about a new Nokia design based on eco-friendly technologies? Patrick Hyland created the interesting Nokia E-Cu concept, that can be charged simply by using heat. The handset integrates a thermogenerator, that turns heat into electrical energy, so while in your pocket the device can get charged.
The E-Cu name is a combo between Environment (E) and Copper (Cu) and we learn that this phone is surrounded by a copper layer with engraved heatsinks. You’ll never need a phone charger for this piece of gear, so you’ll be saving Mother Nature again. We have to say that this is quite a slim device, with a solid design and a strong idea behind it.
Let’s hope it becomes real!

Research Center Cambridge Showcases Stretchable Electronic Skin Technology (Video)
20/02/2011 19:45
While Nokia fails to deliver hot smartphones, at least they’re evolving on the prototype and concept side. What you see below is a stretchable electronic skin, a technology developed by Nokia Research Center Cambridge. This flexible piece of bioelectronics is the basis for the future foldable devices, like watches or phones.
Compliant and stretchable materials will make theoretically unbreakable devices and it’ll also provide new means of interaction. More info can be found in the following video and in case you’re not familiar with the Nokia Morph concept phone, go check it out and see how this technology can be put to good use:
