Fabian Nauroy’s concept design for Nokia is killer. The slider not only manages to match Nokia’s design cues (is it the square navigation button, or the empanada shape, or both?) but also look gorgeous.
It’s on the inside, though, that things get interesting. The E97 Envelop Concept has an extra screen which not only slides out but actually detaches, like a photo sliding from an envelope (hence the punny name). The idea is that you can remove the screen, which has its own power and memory, and pass around either photos, movies or music.
Sleek stylings aside, the basic idea here is a good one. As we use our phones for more and more, we use them to share media, too. A small cellphone screen is a poor medium for a slideshow, as everyone has to crane their heads around to see anything. Passing pics around old-school makes a lot of sense. Or you could, of course, just make the phone’s screen big enough to begin with. You know, like the iPhone.
