Nokia bulky phone concept learns the art of balancing

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

I don’t know why — for one or another reason, I like this concept design. Although it’ll fit badly in your pocket, but seems it’s easy for you to hold it and playing your thumb on its clean keypad and menu buttons.

Apparently Heikki Juvonen “has focused on the design usability by creating a new balance in structure” as Design Launches blog wrote.

The T3’s 01 Phone: Faking it for the cause

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Remember a “mysterious” 32 GB cell phone: the 01 Phone which was discovered by T3 magazine that I wrote three weeks ago? Now, the countdown on its website, has over. So what? Nothing (in term of the handset’s availability). While admitting that the dream phone is totally a fake because it’s created using 3D rendering, the T3 team need you to support their campaign. So, it’s just a matter of campaign (and marketing for that magazine?).


What campaign? “The campaign for the pursuit of gadget excellence,” as they wrote in the website. They even asked you to sign up to support their petition to the industry’s big boys: Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, BlackBerry, Apple and the rest. The reason?

For far too long we’ve been at the mercy of the mobile industry dictating crawling upgrades and minor revamps. The iPhone 3G, is, of course, a worthy stab at creating the perfect mobile phone, however 3G internet should have been top of the original’s feature list.

Super-slick emailing not seen since the BlackBerry Bold; perfect music-playback, as packed in Sony Ericsson’s W980 plus the Nokia N82’s 5.0-megapixel all inspired us to create the 01 Phone. Of course, we used a heck of a lot of artistic license. The laser keyboard, for instance, and the 32GB of internal storage. Our point is, however, is that all this technology is available now, so why hasn’t something akin to the 01 Phone actually been created by a manufacture?

Sound interesting, but it’s totally weird. How come all mobile users need similar features and specifications in one phone? And each manufacture has each own need and vision, too. They made their handset based-on a certain of market researchs, user behavior studies, and so on.

Motorola Z12: ‘concept phone’ or real handset coming soon?

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

I must admit that this phone design is very cool and clean. Its intuitive keypad looks simple and efficient. Created by Kizazzz, the Motorola Z12 could be both stylish and sophisticated phone. But, wait. Is the real handset or a better concept design?

Perhaps, a look at the Motorola Z12 might bring about some transformation in opinions. The phone is a treat to the eyes with a 2.8-inch display that boasts of 16M color VGA resolution. Since most phones these days are outfitted with exceptional cameras, it is hardly surprising that Motorola has chosen to go the 5MP way. Evidently, the Z12 also features a touch-sensitive keypad that lends a stylish dimension to this sleek beauty.

Concept: Nokia BMW video phone

Monday, September 8th, 2008

A designer proposes a concept phone for the Finnish phone maker: Nokia BMW video phone. This phone offers beautiful design and sophisticated features. Will Nokia interest in the concept before its rival picking it up?

The Nokia BMW comes with an interesting “push to open” mechanism that makes its display rotate 90 degrees turning the whole device into a handycam. Notice the original camera placement? Sony would probably love to invent something like this…

The mysterious 32 GB cellphone: The 01 Phone!

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

T3 just discovered a website containing a brand new phone: The 01 Phone! Not sure whether the full-touch screen phone is a concept phone or an actual phone that a manufacturer is working on. However, it offers powerful specifications and features.

On an unknown (until now) website titled just www.the01phone.com, lies a handset that will blow all others out of the water. With a 5.0-megapixel camera, 3G internet, and a whopping 32GB of storage, the 01 - as it’s believed to be called - could mean the death of the Nokia N96, the BlackBerry Bold and Samsung’s INNOV8 i850.

Although T3 admitted that they don’t know about this gadget, as 3Gweek wrote, yet they dare to list its specification. Weird isn’t?

Whatever it is, it has a countdown on the homepage, with 27 days left, so let’s wait and see….
