A designer called Jonathan Findlay (you can check his site here) has come up with a DVB-H concept phone called the “Graphite”. Apparently it has/could have a 4-way slider, and runs on Series60. On toppa that, there’s a 3.6 inch AMOLED touchscreen, and also a keypad hidden in there somewhere.
It’s pretty neat, and usually I wouldn’t spend time to mention a concept – but this one rocks it enough to perhaps find its way to reality – any takers from the handset vendors out there?
Just for the record, and because it’s nice to give props to the designer, Jonathan is a Transport and Product designer with a driven personality and a desire to succeed. Versatile with knowledge in varying design disciplines; experience of work in design studios and pressurised situations, excelling in CAD modelling, research-centric design and 2D/3D development. Graduated from Coventry University in 2008 with a First Class Ba(hons) with professional enhancement.

About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
