Nokia 888 Phone and Morph Concepts

The Nokia 888 was a bracelet-like fantasy phone concept designed by Tamer Nakisci. It won the Benelux design contest in 2005 though it wasn’t actually endorsed by Nokia themselves.

I just think it looks really cool. The technology is currently unfeasible but soon will be due to developments in nanotechnology. The latest concept for a mobile device that is endorsed by Nokia takes the nanotech elements even further. Morph is a concept demonstrating some of the possibilities nanotechnologies might enable in future communication devices. Morph can sense its environment, is energy harvesting and self cleaning. It is a flexible two-piece device that can adapt its shape to different use modes. Nanotechnology enables it to have adaptive materials yet rigid forms on demand. Featured in the MoMA online exhibition "Design and the Elastic Mind" it has been a collaboration project of Nokia Research Center and Cambridge Nanoscience Center. Nokia have said that elements of Morph might be integrated into handheld devices within seven years, though initially only at the high end.
