Default Concept Windows Mobile Phone with Fastap Keypad


Click the image above for a larger version.

Kris Kringle visited us recently to deliver some conceptual renderings of a Windows Mobile phone with a Fastap keypad. The contents of the display suggest it's a Pocket PC Phone, while the buttons (note the Home and Back buttons at the bottom of the keypad) suggest it's a Smartphone. Either way, we must stress that we have no knowledge of this being a real product, and thought we'd simply throw this one out there for your perusal. Check out the design (two additional shots after the break) and let us know what you think. Are you a fan of this form factor?

MMM, Shiny. :mrgreen:

It looks nice, is this the rumored Google phone? I notice the Google button on the bottom of the keypad. Not sure it meet's my personal needs, but it's nice looking and for those who are looking for a slight upgrade on a Moto Razr will probably really like this.

Looks nice, but the screen seems to be a bit small for the size of the device. Seems a wide and thin device, kinda RAZR like but with a kinda Pearl-like tapering of the edges.

Interesting.

I like it. A design such as this will surely break into the market for typical cellphone users who, more often than not, choose form over factor.

I hope they carry those finishes through to production. They look very nice. The blue one looks almost Vaja-esque.
