Nokia 888

The Nokia 888 concept transcends conventional design and allows you to morph into any design you wish, roll it, bend it, clip it, whatever. 

I think specs are peripheral to the topic here. We have all seen great innovation with Nokia's phone designs. Nokia 888 is a lightweight communication device with a totally flexible form factor. What does that mean? you can roll it, you can make it a wrist band, you can straighten it, however you want it. The site mentions use of liquid battery and flexible touch screens for the concept. Lets wait and see...

How the user interacts
E-motions... It means electronical motions that 888 has. You can send and receive forms from / to friends. You can send a heart shape to your girlfriend, so her telephone turns into an icon of heart. Or you can send a dancing form to your friends to call them to the party tonight. This is the fun side of the product. If we look from the functionality side, 888 is quite flexible. You can put it into your pocket, roll it and make it smaller, or put on your wrist when you want to make a video call on the go. If you want to talk like a normal telephone, there you have your telephone shape. We go through a lot of places and situations in the daily life, so it seems like one form is not enough.

Nokia 888
What is unique ?

You can change the form of the body. Not just the color. And you can do the same by sending an e-motion to your friend.

The inspiration

The idea is that "the perfect form" does not exist. "Form follows you" We create the perfect form for each function.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Only for the fans . . .
The direction of FF during the fight scenes is often sloppy, switching camera angles ridiculously fast in an attempt to make the action seem more frenetic, but only serving to make the scenes look jumbled and...

Million Dollar Baby
The movie is excellent. I was overwhelmed by the simple truth of its ending. Hillary Swank deserves an Oscar for her performance. She seems a natural for this role. Clint Eastwood is one good actor and his directing of movies is even better. The...

The Shawshank Redemption
One of my all time favorites. Shawshank Redemption is the best story ever told on film. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman's performance is exquisite, the direction is flawless, and Stephen King's storyline twists are unpredictable. Do not rent it....
