nokia N-gage 2

Nokia’s Tube is just the beginning, we believe and there are strong arguments to support this theory. First comes that so-called “Touch Communicator”, leaked by the Finns during their webcast. So, we’ve got a high end music phone right now, the 5800 XpressMusic and an upcoming smartphone, but what about a more entertaining device?

Enter N-Gage 2… Nokia quit making the N-Gage phones, after they proved to be less successful than predicted, specially when competing against the likes of the PSP, GameBoy and Nintendo DS. The whole N-Gage concept turned into a gaming platform for smartphones and other high-end Nokia devices, but who knows when the hardware version might make a comeback.

All we have right now are these two images, concepts dating from 2005. Any hope left?

Nokia N96, Beautiful and Strange Concept Phone

09/10/2008 00:51 par slaytane

What you can see above is one of last year’s speculations on how Nokia N96 will look like, through the work of a Photoshop artist spotted on Unwiredview. It’s even more interesting when we get to see the specs of this strange beauty, presumably coming out before the also rumored N99:

- 7.1 MP camera with 20x optical zoom
- GPS
- Wi-Fi
- MP3
- Bluetooth plus various other connectivity options
- Live TV and HDTV support
- 8GB storage space
- 3″ display with VGA resolution

This concept phone is based on Symbian 9.5 and it’s a 8.5mm thick device, but its specs are more doable than you may think, since we’ve seen all of them (scattered) on other phones, but never in a single device. Any other feature you’d like in N95’s successor?

After seeing Nokia’s Tube in action and getting a glimpse of the future Touch Communicator, it’s time for the camera to flash, as we check out an 8 megapixel cameraphone. Yes, the device is branded Nokia, but the details are extremely scarce… The handset looks more like a camera than a phone to me, but it’s equally hot.

Turns out that it features Bluetooth, Symbian S60, a speaker and tons of eco-friendliness. This concept phone is made of wood from sustainable forests, so Mother Nature won’t suffer as you take your pics with the aid of the handset.

Just as the Nokia Tube got revealed, Nokia’s webcast dropped a pretty interesting picture, showing a touchscreen smartphone. It’s an XPERIA-like device with a swivelling screen that hides a QWERTY keyboard.

The S60 Touch will be perfect for it and we sure hope that this so-called “Touch Communicator” will be more than a concept.

Well, I haven’t seen a Nokia F Series till now, but who knows what the future holds, as we approach a potential announcement of the Tube handset. This touchscreen device is dubbed the F700 and looks like something LG would design. As for the real artist behind this Nokia concept phone, all we’ve got is something like “vb vella”.

Quite a thick slider we’re dealing with and I’m betting on an accelerometer under that “hood”.

7001 pocket

We have to start by mentioning that these is not an official Nokia concept design, but a fan made device, bearing the name of Nokia 7001. Can a square mobile handset, half the size of the iPhone make it on today’s market?

The 7001 was designed by Tobias Hornof and some may see it as a square LG Prada, but what’s fascinating is the slick interface of this exotic phone. I mean, come on, there’s even a virtual QWERTY keypad on that tiny screen!

Fancy a stylus or will you rely on your piano-playing thin fingers?

Since we don't have any additional info, all that's left is to enjoy the video while it lasts.

E75

A demo video of the latest and greatest business messaging devices by Nokia leaked online revealing the yet unannounced Nokia E72 and Nokia E75. The Nokia E72 is a full-QWERTY successor of the E71, while the E75 features a hybrid form factor incorporating both a normal keypad and a slide-out side QWERTY.

Nokia Scroll OLED Laptop Is Finally Something Hotter Than The Morph

What say you? A Nokia laptop that’s voice activated and uses a scroll-style OLED display? Why, this must be gibberish talk son… or is it? Rodrigo Mercado surely thinks it’s not, since he designed this concept laptop, that’s got a bit of that beautiful Morph in it. And it’s the flexible bit I’m talking about.

Imagine sitting on a bench and suddenly rolling up your Nokia laptop… How cool is that? I’m not even going to start about the inclusion of Skype or phone functions on the device, as it’s so surreal that it might crumble at the touch of a thought. Superb design job Rodrigo!
