Nokia seems to enjoy creating unusual concept phones, and they are released for oogling all the time. It’s sort of a hobby for the company.
The latest one, created by Finnish designer Heikki Juvonen, might be the oddest looking of them all, but also has a chance of catching on and becoming a future design soon, based on inside rumors.
The new concept doesn’t have an “official” name yet, but it has a distinctive design indeed. When I saw it the first time, the first thing I thought of was the old 60’s Batman series, where he would pull out something like this to communicate with the Commissioner or something similar. It would have been cool and futuristic (and a little campy, much like the series) but for the time, would have been just a dream.
It’s a odd candybar design that’s thicker in its lower half, where the large keypad is (probably to house the keypad components). The phone’s display is said to be “futuristically transparent”, and it seems large enough to support a resolution bigger than the classic QVGA that is used today in screens like this. It could signal a new resolution in the works for certain screens.
No feature list or price is mentioned, but the designer himself states that it would come with some sort of fingerprint scanner, which would be very interesting indeed. The technology does exist to implement this, so we’ll see what comes of this design idea.

Really, I don’t like it, doesn’t look very pocket friendly. Looks like the old star trek phones
