Most mobile phones today look very similar — basically, there are few form factors like clamshell, slider and candybar with some variations. That’s probably the reason why designers are pushing the limits with their concepts. After all, who knows how will our beloved devices look within ten years.
Latest concept we’ve spotted is designed by Alec Wong & Donn Koh, and looks like those “do not disturb” signs that you hang outside your door at hotels. Beside the non-standard look, everything else is quite simple — there are 12 regular keys, the large round button/knob at the bottom (for navigation?) and a LED near the top. I find it interesting, although I doubt this is the phone of the future. Maybe specific purpose phone of the future, who knows… One more pic after the jump.

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.
