Cool G108 wristwatch clamshell

This time we’ve got hands-on with a wristwatch cellphone by a Chinese maker.

When the flip is closed you can see only a small monochrome display with service info, such as time, signal strength and battery level. The Cool G108 watch-phone features a set of specs customary with a mid-range cellphone: a camera, a media player, Bluetooth and USB support.

Let's see what Nokia 6555 says!

Nokia 6555 has a standard clam shell construction with one cool little detail, it has an analog timepiece on the cover, Photos and info inside.

Nokia 6555 features a smooth-back fold design and original analog timepiece, It’s a 3G cellphone that pairs original design and quality workmanship with outstanding features. The Nokia 6555 meets the desire for aesthetic appeal with an external analog clock echoing the timeless elegance of high-end luxury.

It’s the first WCDMA phone with a smooth-back fold design with recessed hinge creating a seamless line when open. Its gentle curve ensures a smooth and ergonomic user experience. This cellphone is an accessible option for discerning consumers.

Adding to its attraction, Nokia 6555 features a QVGA 16 million color internal display, twice as many colors as the human eye can see, for a brilliant, crisp resolution on a large 240×320 screen, making it perfect for viewing photos and videos.

The camera featuring a 6x zoom gives even greater versatility and full screen portrait viewfinder so you can be sure you get the right picture every time. The self-portrait function on the camera and video sharing ability ensures that special moments are easily shared with family and friends.

Nokia 6555 is a sophisticated accessory delivering the outstanding features that we expect from Nokia, from the thin, narrow form factor with smooth lines to the 30MB user memory (with capacity for microSD expandable memory) and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, the Nokia 6555 sets the standard in its class.

This Beautiful cellphone is especially for woman I think, the buttons are quite large and very easy to type. The buttons are nice and clicky too and you don’t have to push them too hard. It feels just right.

The cellphone is not too thick at all. Yes it’s not the same thinness as something like the RAZR but I don’t think that was what Nokia was aiming for with this cellphone.

It’s not weighted too well, the balance is only slightly biased towards the base and because of the angle the phone folds out to, so you can’t rest the phone on its base while it’s open without it acting almost like a see-saw.

It doesn’t have a button to open, flipping it open by sliding a finger between the folds and rising it up works very well, very much like a flip phone should do. Closing it is also easy and if it slams shut you don’t feel like you’re doing damage to the phone.

Nokia patents eyes-free touchscreen controls

Nokia has patented an interesting way to use a touchscreen on a mobile device without looking at it. It deals with a lid to be placed above the touchscreen. There is a slot in it, certain spots of which can be felt by the finger giving the user eyes-free control of the interface. According to Nokia the device should support the special UI to recognize the control. Notice that the lid is a rotating one, which reveals the traditional touchscreen display.

Taking into account the plenty of touch-control devices (Apple iPhone, LG Prada, LG Viewty, HTC Touch/Slide, Samsung F700 and so on) Nokia’s idea might come in handy. By the way it might be good with portable players and other touch-sensitive devices. The pictures to the patent show the better way to apply it.

Conceptual phones from NEC

From the author and creator of the computer stuffed beaver, another very sinister, and in our view, less successful creations - laser Bluetooth-klaviatura, projected returns from opossuma stuffed animals. All of this design is called Text-O-Possum and author (Recall that this is a girl!) Suggests that such opossuma is easy to carry with you and to bring the case of bags, seat at the table and used for writing e-mail'a phone or PDA with Bluetooth. Indeed, it QWERTY-klaviaturoy Full speed it will be almost as fast as the computer. But that may talk constantly carry around a stuffed animal - dubious pleasure, the same compact device that can also be described as difficult. The beauty and aesthetics, and is silent ... even better picture further.
