Nokia sets a new trend in cellphones offering a mobile phone concept made of recycled aluminum which looks futuristic as well as promising. Engineered by Luis Barcelo this marvelous cell phone called Nokia Ink 01 offers sustainable mobile phones usage where design meets functionality.

The main idea is to reduce the energy consumption wherever you use your trendy cell phone. So you can yourself be assured of recyclable materials to be used in the replica once it is dismantled. This amazing cell phone carries extra low power consumption E-Ink digital display.

In fact, all the parts of the cell phone structure are constructed from recycled aluminum being capable to be constantly recycled while using low energy consumption. Instead of mechanical keys, the Nokia Inc 01 features its main key pad coming with a capacitive sensor which appears to reduce the amount of separate parts.

The Nokia Inc 01 comes equipped with a mini OLED display that makes it possible for the user to take pictures and revise them while consuming little energy. The Nokia Inc 01 is powered by a silver/zinc battery instead of lithium ion batteries which are 95 per cent recyclable and comes with more energy density by 40 per cent than other lithium ion batteries. That said, you will be able to reduce recharging times during its life time as well as reduce wasted power during recharging.

Recyclable temporary hard Drive Concept by Cagnina

Sony Ericsson Greenheart Concept phone review

There are approximately two and a half billion mobile phones in the world, and time in cooperation with conscious dictates us that they all need to be recycled somehow or at least their batteries need to be recycled in order not to cause environmental pollution. There were not many telecom gadgets that where made from 100% safe materials that could be easily recycled without science intensive facilities. Luckily sight of such kind of environmentally friendly gadget has been recently cached. Greenheart concept cell phone from Sony Ericsson was seen last week in the capital of Denmark on another brand event. Sony Ericsson Greenheart Concept is not a pre-production model as far as we know, it is just probing, first attempts to imagine what our favorite gadgets would look like in a few years, and, of course, gaining experience.

Judging by the picture, Sony Ericsson Greenheart Concept looks quite finished and thought-out over all. It is important to mansion that in Greenheart cellphone the most important issue so far is its technical component, features of its materials. Software and design development don't make any problems for Sony Ericsson's production models. So, what is the most special thing about Greenhouse phone? I think it is its battery. It was designed to keep charge as long as possible. Comparison with any trendy mobile phone shows the results. Typical phone spends 37 mW on its standby mode, 30 mW at best. Greenheart Concept uses 3.5 mW. We are not sure how it will influence total battery life because its capacity and type are yet unknown. Device's body and keypad are made of recycled bio-plastic. Used type of "green" plastic can be recycled at one of world's 500 drop-off areas. Even user's guide (as if phone would be sold) will be offered in an HTML source – that will save some trees to clean air, not to be seized for wood.

In addition I want say, as far as I understand, a big touch screen with no physical keyboard must be even more efficient in this case. Such form factor requires less materials and easier structure. Anyway Sony Ericsson Greenheart Concept phone is a very first serious environmentally friendly cell phone prototype. Only time will show what will be more appropriate for this new hi-tech area.

New Nokia concept phone

Looking at the functionality of the modern cell phones , it seems that something really innovative can hardly be designed. However some designers just go to show that their creativity knows no bounds. Kimberly Hu who created Nokia Scentsory concept phone can be reckoned among such designers as well.

The concept of Nokia Scentsory can be considered as an overwhelmingly innovative one. It represents a mobile communication device that works with the senses of smell , sight, hearing and touch. So, besides basic audiovisual features, Scentsory is able to detect, transmit and emit smells as well. In addition to this it can also radiate colours, lighting, and temperature from the caller's environment.The dual-screen mobile has a LED touchpad, speakers, hidden camera and temperature sensors. Nanotechnology has played an important role in the development of this original device. Using highly sophisticated sensors, the electronic 'nose' samples the odour of the caller's environment and transmits it to the recipient electronically.

Given gadget has three different working modes that distinguish from each other according to the available functions. When the phone is in 'flat mode', the LED touchpad, two screens and stereo speakers for audiovisual calls are accessible. In 'open mode', two screens with a hidden camera and stereo speakers, interior scent detectors, emitter and exterior temperature sensors are exposed. In 'closed mode', the phone's slim profile suits traditional voice calls. The LED screen on the lower folding surface alerts the user to incoming calls.

Thus, at present the creation of such a device seems to be unreal. Yet if this phone appears in the near future, it will be very popular for sure.

Two-part cell phone is real - change device's form factor on the fly!

There were many interesting mobile phone concepts,and their numbers increase every year. However, they share one big problem - close to zero possibility for them to be released in mass production. Unfortunately, they are too futuristic or expensive to manufacture, so many good ideas are buried until right time comes. It is amazing to see a curious concept being made as a real prototype - at the CEATEC exhibition Fujitsu and DoCoMo presented a real working prototype of conceptual cellphone, which is made of two absolutely independent parts, and can be shaped in whatever form factor you want, from slider to rotator!!

The whole idea about this cell phone is that you are free to use it whatever way you want- both parts of it are equipped with sensor display,magnets and bluetooth connection., so they are working in pair even while not connected to each other. This makes this phone truly universal: you can make it a slider, with a full QWERTY keyboard under screen, you can place the screen vertically and use the horizontal part as a joystick in games, you can even use second part as a Bluetooth remote while watching movie on the first! You are limited with only your imagination. Not sure, will it have the second Bluetooth module to be able to connect with other devices, but it seems that it will have the most modern hardware including wireless and connectivity abilities.

This phone is a revolutionary idea that went a long road from concept into a working prototype. Great example of how good ideas should be handled. However, there will be a long road to mass production ahead, because now exists one unit only and Fujitsu have no plans to release it in near future. This was only a demonstration of abilities and possibilities,"Proof of Concepts"in some sort. Nevertheless, it demonstrates possibilities of a true phone of the future - great flexibility of usage and outstanding customization options.
