For six months 25 Industrial Design students created concepts for a premium device capable of providing 4 or 5G multimedia services up to the year 2015.

The students worked for a cash prize and the chance to work side-by-side with Nokia's design team during a summer placement at the Nokia design studios near London. The winning design was also made into a Nokia made dummy handset for the specially-hosted exhibition in London's Air Gallery this week.

Although technology was a primary focus, students followed unique routes. They placed emphasis on everything from the use of senses as yet untapped by phones, through to areas of growing significance such as biodegradability, sustainability, customization, social capital and surveillance.

From the two dozen entries submitted Nokia chose Daniel Meyer's design - a mobile device inspired both by the advent of video calling and the traditional practice of carrying pictures of friends or family members with you. The handset is designed to sit as a picture frame wherever the user is, serving the dual purpose of communications device and a comforting familiar focal point; at home, at work or in a hotel while away on business.

The Future of Mobile Design exhibition will run from June 13-16 at the Air Gallery, Dover Street, London W1S, open daily from 10am until 6pm.

It's probably just a bad drawing of it... I hope. If phones look like that in 2015 I'm hanging on to my RAZR.

You can see that you can twist it... either the L form or a "normal" phone form.

except when you twist it the screen and the keypad are on opposite sides.

Twist like rotate, not twist like bend icon_wink.gif

It reminds me of when I was a little kid and my parents gave me that long plastic stick that can twist, sometimes making it into a snake or something.

But it looks...interesting. Other than that, I don't think that I would get it if it ever came out. What about that other concept, where you can use the phone almost like a bracelet...that's funky.
