Vertu Boucheron Worlds Hottest New Phone

This is probably the world's hottest new phone and Vertu's most beautiful ever made! It is the creation of Vertu for Parisian jewellry house Boucheron, with the occasion of the 150th Anniversary.

“The essence of the single edition Vertu Boucheron 150 was to create something unique with signals of both brands,” said Frank Nuovo, Vertu Principal Designer. “Using the Vertu Signature platform, but taking it away from the core design and creating a visibly stunning statement that breaks all expectations of mobile phone design, resulting in a true piece of sculpture. The constantly changing angled surfaces allow a cut stone appearance, inspired by the clearly faceted stones which are a significant part of Boucheron’s core craft. The recognisable Vertu V shape has seemingly morphed into random proportioned patterns and directions of the three sided surfaces creating a perfect blend of Vertu and Boucheron elements. The challenge was to gain visual sparkle not from precious stones but instead through pure form and line achieved with precious faceted metal.”

Transparent Crystal phone Concept

Here is something new that we haven’t seen before, a concept phone which is completely transparent and see through.

This concept phone by BloodRabbit which he thought of while driving home from work.
This mobile phone comes in a see-through body and a basic LCD display, sharing the same dimensions as a credit card.

Although you’re probably scratching your head and wondering how the electronics and other stuff like a battery and camera fits in.
we have to go by the assumption that technology in the future will be able to compress electronics to such a size.

Blackberry : Bold And Beautiful

Slimmer and sleeker

What can one say about the new Blackberry Bold? RIM has used the word that best describes the phone as the phone’s name! Blackberry has finally gone sleek with the Bold; it has to, especially with Nokia’s E-series models getting slimmer and sleeker. As you hold the Bold, you can’t fail to notice the nice leather-like back panel. It gives it a classy-look, at the same time, giving you a good grip.

Learning curve

If you haven’t used a Blackberry before, you may find that handling it requires a small learning curve. First, you realise the small white button below the screen is not a joystick, but a trackball - nice and sensitive. And at times, a little too sensitive. You often tend to move the trackball fast and lose the cursor. You even tend to move the cursor when you try to press the trackball to select an application. A slightly bigger trackball could make the navigation and control easier.

Keyboard

The QWERTY keyboard looks good, is well spaced-out and is also easy to type. Those who are not used to QWERTY keyboards may have to fiddle around quite a bit while switching between letters and numbers. The keyboard backlighting feature is sure to add to the experience. The Bold’s dimensions are nice and comfortable - wide enough to fit a QWERTY keypad, but narrow enough to hold it comfortably in one hand.The keypad is a pleasure to use at most times, but it is irritating to have to use the key for entering frequently used punctuation marks like a period or a comma.

Screen

But what attracts you is the screen. Rich and vibrant, the screen is the most wonderful feature of the phone, bright and crisp and showing vivid colours with just the correct contrast. One look at it and you know you are looking at a premium product. It’s quite clear and sharp even when the brightness is set to low.

The screen transitions are fairly smooth and there is no dissonance between the performance of the screen and the price of the phone. The UI is fairly intuitive to Blackberry and business phone users, but if you are moving into this from a consumer/multimedia model, it will need some getting used to.

Icons

What’s likely to confuse you are the icons. For example, the icons for GPS and alarm clock look quite similar. And there is an e-mail icon in the home screen, and also another similar icon in the menus that says ‘SMS and e-mail’. Many icons are not intuitive. You have to hover over them to find out what they actually do. Often it will be better to have the manual handy.

Office

The office applications - Word, Spreadsheet and Presentation - are compiled in the ‘Documents to Go’ suite. But the default ‘to Go’ applications do not allow you to create documents. You have to go for a paid version to do so (that costs around $70 from Dataviz, the creator of the program). With the default version you can only view documents, rendering the version quite useless. And to make things worse, you get a warning that the ‘to Go’ applications are not compatible with Microsoft Word and Excel files.

Browser

There are two views for viewing Web sites - Page view and Column view. The default Page view opens up the entire page with a zoom option. You have to click wherever you want to go on the page (like in Opera Mini). The column view is tedious and requires a lot of scrolling, which can be painful.The browser also does not support Flash, which again, is a surprise for a business phone. When you pay more than Rs 30,000 for a phone, you expect a full-fledged office phone, not a phone with key features missing.

Camera

The Bold comes with a 2 megapixel camera - a recurrence of the same mistake done by Apple in the iPhone. Of course, business users are not going to go around clicking, but they will expect whatever they capture - for example, during a picnic or tour - to be large enough to be viewed, at least larger than a thumbnail. Though the images are good, phone-makers could try to include a 3 or 5 mega pixel camera in high end mobiles.The camera produced average results for capturing still pictures as well as for some basic video but the phone screen/display clarity saves the day for the Blackberry Bold. Moreover, the phone offers surprisingly good sound for music and multimedia - no more of that weak, shallow sound only because you are having a ‘business’ phone. The choice of ringtones and alert sounds are very good as well, providing you with a range of discreet and loud tones.

GPS, maps

The maps application does not have any map pre-installed. You will have to purchase them separately. The same applies to the GPS.

Battery

The battery is quite decent and lasts over two days. But make it one day if you use a lot of GPRS browsing.The start-up is excruciatingly slow. The first time we powered on, we thought the device had crashed. But once it starts, working on the Bold is a breeze.

Multimedia

Watching videos is great, with the brilliant screen accentuating the experience but what spoils the fun is the inefficient media manager.

Conclusion

Applications are pretty standard for a business phone - e-mail, calendar etc. But the phone that was reviewed had a version of the office package that would only allow you to edit office docs, not create them. Quad band GSM is rounded off with three band HSDPA support for very fast mobile Internet, as well as with Wi-Fi, so it is good to go anywhere in the world.

Voice quality was good, with battery life being slightly above average for a business phone, including when combined with a Bluetooth headset and some Wi-Fi usage. Overall, it is a great business mobile phone, good to have if e-mail is as important as voice when you travel.

Top 14 Amazing and Futuristic Cellphone Designs....

Cellphone Technology has drastically changed in the last decade and can be considered an actual Cellphone Evolution. Mobile phones have evolved, their size has changed, they have been flooded with features which we never thought could be possible and continue to progress.

Practically all cellphones have cameras which sometimes can even be compared to actual digital camera resolution and abilities. These cellular phones are becoming slimmer with larger screen size, some have no buttons and multi-touch screens, accelerometers, audio systems, video systems and hundreds of other media and productivity features. These are no more just Cell Phones but rather considered “Smart phones” as we call them (most of them), but we must admit, Geeks are never satisfied. So, we here at Walyou present to you “Geeks” the most Amazing and Futuristic Cellphone designs that we hope would see the green light in the near future.

1. NEC Tag Phone

NEC Tag cellphone is a soft and flexible phone that can be wrapped around your wrist. It has a capability of changing its shape according to the phone mode, thanks to Shape-memorizing material and multiple pressure sensors it has in it. Built with malleable rubber, the shape can be changed manually also.

2. Soft Phone

This cute cellphone works by your squeeze and hug. By your grip and usage it reacts with making or ending a call. It comes in its own included soft pouch, so you may fold it to take up less space, store its own qwerty keyboard, or present its practicality.

3. Nokia Eco Sensor Concept

Mobile Phones can call, send SMS, emails and do much more. But how about a cellphone that can do all this stuff and be environmental and health friendly as well?

Nokia’s Eco Sensor concept cell phone does just that. It has a range of built-in sensors to help you monitor your health, environment, and local weather. In addition, you can also share the environmental data your sensing device collects and view other users’ shared data, thereby increasing your global environmental awareness.

4. Customized Cellphone

How would you like to customize the appearance of your cellphone? This great idea allows you to build the faceplate just like you would like using different colored tiles. With this, you can recreate, re-design, and rebuild a personal look over and over again.

5. BenQSiemens Snake phone

It is similar to the Tag Phone mentioned above; the BenQSiemens Snake cellphone has been built in the shape of a snake and can be wrapped around you Wrist as if it were a wristband. It is good for those that tend to leave their mobile phones here and there and completely forget about them. The Snake Phone doesn’t have many features, but it will definitely rock on your wrist.

6. Nokia Scentsory

The unique feature of this concept phone from Nokia is its smell sensor. The Nokia Scentsory Cellphone comes in a paper airplane folded style and features user customizable scent specifications for contacts as well as wellness aroma therapy.

Seems like there is a scent trend with different concepts, products and innovation to use the sense of smell. For example, there are the scented ringtones and also mp3 players that smell.

7. The Concept Pen Phone

Haier has already produced cellphone models that are so near of being called pen phones, but they are just not there yet.

Here is a concept Pen Phone that will make you look like James Bond with features such as: a USB slot, a microSD card slot, comes with an earpieces and has bluetooth as well. It is the smallest cellphone design as of now but is not in production just yet.

8. Nokia Morph

Nokia, in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, Nanoscience Center(UK) has created this concept cellphone that is flexible in the truest sense. It gives you the freedom of shape in many ways.

Whether you want it to become a Tablet PC, a Wrist band or keep as a simple smart Phone, Nokia Morph does all this for you. The Morph can be put in three modes:
Standard mode: Just like any normal handset: you can make calls, receive call, send and receive SMS and use it as just another Mobile phone.
Bracelet mode: For the stylish people. In this mode you can wrap it around your Wrist and even use it as a watch or for Video Chats.
Landscape mode: In this mode it can be used as a tablet PC. The entire surface become a touch screen and can be used to check mail easily, watch movies etc. It uses its nanosensors effectively to give you complete control over what you want Morph to do.

The Nokia Morph is a truly revolutionary mobile phone design and hopefully we will get even close to this design within our lifetime.

9. iPhone Like Cellphone Design

This Concept Phone Designed by Bence Bogar has 2.8″ Crystal Display Screen, 5.0-MP Digital camera, 512MB Ram, micro SD (T-flash) expansion slot, Wi-Fi support, built-in Bluetooth technology, and built-in GPS features. The designer claims this concept phone to be the “perfect phone in the world”.

10. In-phone Bluetooth Earpiece Storage

Never misplace or lose your Bluetooth earpiece again. This practical cellphone concept has an actual storage spot within the phone itself; this way, you can always have your Bluetooth earpiece wherever you have your cellphone.

In addition, this same storage area charges your earpiece when not in use, so you will always be ready to take a call and have your hands free.

11. Asus Aura Concept Phone

The Asus Aura Concept Phone is designed by a Hungarian design company, Egy Studio for a Taiwanese vendor. The Aura Concept cellphone has a movable navigation module with navigational buttons and a sliding QWERTY keyboard. Additional features include a 3.9″ touchscreen covering the whole surface of the phone, a 2.0 megapixel camera, a microSD memory card slot, GSM, UMTS, HSDPA, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.

Not only is it cooler than you think but it is slimmer as well with the dimension of 97×49×6mm and total volume of 28 cc.

12. Nokia 888

The Nokia 888 concept design by Tamer Nakisci can be changed to any form. You can change its shape according to your needs during the day but don’t have to carry it in your pocket or on your wrist; take it anywhere and in any form.

This cellphone concept can be rolled, bent, placed on your clothes like a clip and more. It uses liquid battery, speech recognition, flexible touch screen, and a touch sensitive body cover which lets it understand and adjust to the environment.

As well as the shape, the color of the Nokia 888 Mobile Phone may also be changed.

The idea behind the design of Nokia 888 is that “the perfect form” does not exist. “Form follows you” so they create the perfect form for each function.

13. Handphone Cellphone

When someone acts as if they are talking on the phone, they extend their thumb and pinky outward and talk into their palm. Why can’t this actually be adapted?

This concept envisions having your cellphone simply attach to the back of your hand. Within a conversation, the mic would be where your extended pinky is, and listening would be at the thumb. Sounds simple enough.

14. Choco Concept

The Choco Phone Concept, designed by Fred De Garilhe, is made up of small glass like square pieces. The lines between the shiny square glassy pieces make it look like Chocolate, hence the name. The Lines are lit up with fiber optics and demarcate the numbers.

All the numbers can be seen through the reflective surface when you slide the screen upwards, and the four pieces of glass that accompany the Screen become the 4 function keys. It seems though that Choco Phone concept will never become reality, not under that name since it is patented to another company. The designer will either have to change the name or come up with a new design.
