Mobile Phone Haven

Most cellphone concepts looks really cool but none are ever really practical for everyday use. Here’s one that falls into that category, it’s a nameless concept designed by Marc Schomann. The mobile phone (if we can call it that) is divided into segments. One twist turns the phone on and there are 12 segments for you to twist when you have to dial.

The design for this concept was inspired by haptic technology and it’s the most “cryptic” phone out there (to my knowledge). So, if you like this design then prepare your wrists for a work out. You’ll be looking like Popeye in no time.

The Glyde is targeted to consumers that are looking for a touchscreen device, with a smaller footprint than the Voyager, while maintaining a mechanical QWERTY keyboard.
