  • Samsung Elite S5600 Preston and Elite C3050 are the manufacturer’s new offers for the ladies. These special editions have been made in partnership with Elite Model, but the handsets aren´t any different from the original models, except for the white color they come in and the surprises in the package. The Elite C3050 is already available for purchase on the Dutch market, bundled with a Charming by Ti Sento phone strap, while the Elite S5600 Preston is coming out soon, packed with a bracelet by the same manufacturer. Prices are still unavailable.

  • The Nibiru is probably the most original concept phone to date! Its designer, Andy Kurovets, has taken care to include important details in his vision of a Nokia phone, such as a touch-sensitive screen, optical zoom camera, touch pad, MP3 player and so on. Take a look at this magnificent futuristic concept and don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments! Still, we wonder if cell phones should look like space ships…

  • And here is yet another phone concept – the Google-G0, created by Tryi Yeh. While it seems to lag behind the Nibiru in terms of design, this particular idea of an Android-powered phone is worth a look... Okay, now let’s get back to that Nibiru thing.

The nibiru looks like something out of a hardware designers nightmares...............

true, but it is an original design

The Nibiru doesn't even look appealing. There's a bunch of unecessary hardware designs...why have those nasty humps for screen protection when they do have simple film that would probably protect the screen better. It is still possible to create a kickass design, while still keeping the simple form factor, w/o crazy sharp angles and that weird touch pad; look at LG....

the nibiru is a great idea. but the screen protector makes the thing un-pocketable and maybe uncomfortable to handle

Two things bother me about it, why would you need a second touch pad when the screen is already touch? What exactly is the point of having the camera slide up when there is nothing inhibiting it in its slid down position? The side mp3 player screen screams unnessecary.

I love the Go concept phone. Seems like its possible where as that nibru is just silly.
