Nokia’s X Series is getting more and more love recently, so we even stumbled upon a concept, the Nokia X9, that gets pictured below. This handset comes from Greece and it’s based on the X6, but it brings great features to the scene, stuff like a 12 megapixel camera with HD video recording and a HDMI port.
Dedicated Facebook and Twitter keys are also on board and we sure hope this beauty can run Symbian^4. The screen on this Nokia concept is a capacitive one, while the camera does 720p capture and uses a quad LED module. Nokia X9’s specs list also includes a microSD card slot, dual micro USB connectivity and support for push notifications.
Music can be streamed and shared on this device, via Over The Air methods and you can even share a playlist or album with your friends. Will we ever see such a model on the market, or will it remain a design?
Designer Reginald Shola Hingston shows us another one of his Nokia concepts, after the Nokia Stealth model. This time we’re dealing with the Nokia 82 Dragonfly, pictured below and keeping the simplistic design language of the Finnish company.
This is supposed to be an entry level phone, packing a numeric keypad, a navigation mechanism beneath the screen, probably a camera at the back and a pretty big screen. Here’s another look at Reginald Shola Hingston’s works.
Stealth, a Mid Level Handset Design by Reginald Shola Hingston

While Nokia’s busy with readying a bunch of new smarphones and cameraphones, we have a look at a new concept bearing their branding, the Nokia Stealth. Created by Reginald Shola Hingston, this mid level handset is destined to reach the pockets of tech enthusiasts and you can learn what it’s all about after the break.
The Nokia concept comes with an ergonomically sculpted keypad, that allows the user to easily navigate by touch sensation, plus a rubberised matte textured surface, that absorbs light on radii, giving a feeling of flat facets. Nokia Stealth also uses a pearlescent matte coloring, that gives it a dark red hue, reminding us of radar lenses.

Symbian Tablets and Netbooks Coming in the Near Future
06/03/2010 13:06
Symbian went completely open source these days and we’ve also found out that the platform will be used on netbooks and tablets in the near future. This statement was made by Symbian Foundation CEO Lee Williams and one such “device of the future” is pictured below.
The portable gadget is part of Nokia “Vision of 2015″ video, shown after the break, below. This clip includes a bunch of concepts and prototypes made by the Finnish company, probably meant to feature Tegra 2 and OMAP4 solutions. Word has it that Symbian was already ported to the Intel Atom processor, in a project called Wild Duck.
Since Nokia’s Booklet 3G is real, should we also expect to see a Nokia Tablet in 1 or 2 years?
Ovi Orion Gaming Phone is the Perfect Successor to the N-Gage (Video)
06/03/2010 13:03
There were a few Nokia fans who regretted the canning of the N-Gage gaming phone series, but there is still hope for this idea, specially if you believe in concepts. The folks of Recombu created the Nokia Ovi Orion, a gaming phone design, pictured below.
Nokia Ovi Orion looks like a combo between a Palm Pre and an iPhone, with a strange QWERTY keyboard and a hidden one line display at the back. This bizarre design might make gaming more user-friendly, but what’s really important is the front multitouch capacitive touchscreen, with a huge diagonal, hopefully.
We wouldn’t be surprised if a Tegra or Snapdragon CPU was on board too, as well as HDMI out and a decent bunch of speakers. The question is: does Nokia have the software platform for such a device? Here’s a short video demo of the concept gaming phone:
