Mobile phone of the future – Ideas I would like to see in Symbian OS phones

Introducing the new concept phone, the Polygon, designed by Alloy and presented at the MEX conference. It only looks like a normal phone, but it’s a clamshell phone which replaces the buttons on the bottom half with a rugged touchscreen, which changes according to what you’re using it for.
So when you’re playing music, the touchscreen looks like an iPod. When you’re watching TV, you turn the phone sideways and the touchscreen morphs into channel-switching controls. When you surf the Web, it becomes a QWERTY keyboard. It’s a neat idea – and in every case leaves the top screen completely free for whatever content you’re viewing / accessing.
Now, wouldn’t you all like to see the Symbian powered phone working like this? I know I would. Check out the pictures at the bottom of this post to see for yourself how cool is this. Also, you can read more about it from the TechDigest.
