Weird And Futuristic Cellphones

Here’s a look at some downright weird and wacky cell phone designs. Some of these are concept designs and sure are very interesting!

1. The Natural Year Phone by Je-Hyun Kim
This was created in the name of recycling... after all, how durable do we want our devices to be when they become near-obsolete in five years? The phone is made of hay (or should we say of "weed"?) and completely disintegrates in two years' time - only the screen and soft keys remain behind, and even these may be subsequently recycled. However, we have doubts about its practicality. Just one of those "nice to see, good to hold... but no thanks!" pieces of technology

2. Window Phone by Seunghan Song
What features would you like on your phone today, mister? The weather? Done! The Brits may like this glass cell phone concept, as it will predictably predict even the most unpredictable English weather, if such a thing is at all possible.
(designer: Seunghan Song)

3. Cell Phone Inspired By Chinese Scrolls, by Yun Liang
A roll-out display and cute buttons placed on the scroll are definitely hot-looking... but imagine using this piece on an everyday basis. If you'd need to pull the display out in a jiffy, then the tactile bit for keypad will last as long as you treat the baton well. Key words… treat the baton well.
(designer: Yun Liang)

4. Easy Tiles Phone by Tzu-Fu Wang
What would you do if you didn’t have the iPhone or its cool apps and games to while away your time? Sorry, didn’t meant to scare you… lemme rephrase, your iPhone is SAFE and SOUND, but give the Easy Tiles Phone a second’s thought. Easily upgradable apps that slide in and around the phone, make this one of those DIY thangs that give you total control to upgrade the gizmo as you like. Let's also assume you have a postal address in Utopia and upgrades are dirt-cheap!

5. Radia - Circular Cell Phone by Michael Laut
Who says cell phone has to be rectangular? An oddball round shape can also be suitably scintillating. No kidding, but this one might be a feasible design for Paris Hilton, who loves to talk in circles... literally!
Designer: Michael Laut

And we’ve barely even scratched the (non-scratch) surface! Here’s still more…

6. Weirdest Shape For A Cell Phone:
The Bracelet Phone. Combine the two and you have... handcuffs!
The bracelet vibrates slightly when it receives messages, then you can easily take it off from your wrist and press the keystroke which looks like a diamond. To pick up or make a telephone call is just that easy. The whole process makes your own personality outstanding and looks very elegant at the same time. Although looks ordinary, the bracelet has plenty of functions. In addition, have you ever imagined the impression of listening to MP3 played from bracelet When you join a party, just show your special bracelet to your friends!
Designer: Tao Ma

7. Weirdest Material For A Cell Phone:
The Maple Phone.
Wooden phones are usually expensive, if you think about those Mpingo handsets from Gresso, made out of African Blackwood, but here’s an interesting twist to this story. How about a Maple Phone? This one’s designed by Hyun Jin Yoon and Eun Hak Lee and it’s a basic camera phone concept, covered in wood.

8. Weirdest User Interface for a Cell Phone:
A Finger Touching
A new wearable device that anyone can communicate with that is easier and lighter in mobile circumstances corresponding to the 3.5G, 4G communication standard. Human hand is the most basic communication method. For easier and simpler controls, it uses the instinctive input method “finger joint”. Excluding the thumb, each finger joint makes up twelve buttons, with “the knuckle button”, using the cell phone’s 3X4 keypad, likely being the most popular input method.
