Sony Ericsson FH Phone Pivots Both Vertically and Horizontally

Tweet

Looking for an innovative smartphone? Then the concept realm is for you! Design Du Jun created the very interesting Sony Ericsson FH handset, pictured below and sporting a very interesting form factor. The device is able to pivot both horizontally and vertically.

Its sideways rotation gives birth to a larger viewing screen, great for multimedia features and web browsing. Also, the FH is able to split into two units, working like a walkie talkie for two users or for couples. It’s interesting to see the iPhone UI and Safari browser on this device, as well…

ASUS Windows Phone 7 Handset Leaked or Photoshopped?

Engadget’s got the scoop on a fresh leak of a Windows Phone 7 unit with ASUS written all over it. We’re wondering if this device is real or a mere Photoshop job, but you’ll be the judges of that, considering that many phone designers check out our site constantly.

We have to say that the WP7 handset looks legit, although the bottom side underneath the screen is not all that convincing. Wondering what the screen’s diagonal is, too… 4.3 inches maybe? A WP7 ASUS phone… leaked before a Samsung and LG one… not very likely, we think.

Rollphone, a Tiny Handset Relying on AA Batteries

Chinese designer Tao Ma has created a very interesting cellphone concept, called Rollphone. This device runs on AA batteries and we have to mention that this is quite a compact phone we’re dealing with. As shown by its name, the handset is “rollable” with the aid of a flexible display.

Once you roll the phone into its tiny main shell, you’ll slip it into any pocket and carry it around with ease. Apparently this is “the shortest cellphone ever”, but it has the ability to increase screen space from 45mm to 75mm, in order to allow the user to watch videos more clearly.
Am I the only one who thinks that this phone looks just like a camera film roll?

Aicomobile, a Handset Concept for the Visually Impaired

Mobile phones are available in the billions worldwide, so there’s no stopping in getting one in the hands of each and every human being. However, some folks have impairments that stop them from using average handset. This is where designs like the “Aicomobile” come into play. Created by Russian designer Lord Leon, this cellphone is directed towards visually impaired users.

Aicomobile allows the blind user to make, receive a call and even send an SMS. As you can see, the device resembles a Rubik’s Cube and features Braille fonts and numbers, easy to identify for people who are visually impaired. The earphones will also play a part in the use of the cellphone and you have to know that the unit measures 40×40x40mm and comes with a strap, allowing it to be worn like a necklace...

HTC HD3 Concept Runs Windows Phone 7, Uses HTC Sense 3

Well, look what the tech geek cat dragged in: a fresh HTC concept, the HD3, adorned with HTC Sense 3 on top of Windows Phone 7. This stunning piece of work belongs to XDA Developer member _LeCiel_, also known as Luke Basarab. HTC HD3 comes with built in speakers on the side of the screen, a front facing camera, HDMI out and a micro USB port.

6 hardware buttons are also included and among them there are 3 WP7 buttons. Keep in mind that this design took Luke 15 hours to make and if you’re looking for specs, they’re nowhere to be found, since the creator of the HD3 left them up to the public to decide. The folks of XDA will suggest features and the designer will probably go with them.
