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.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
