Believe me, they are more appealing than any other phone that’s actually on the market shelves at a given point of time. I started writing the article, then quit and went on repeating this because there were actually no good concept phones to write about. Just then I came across some good stuff, which I felt was worthy enough to make the recipe for our next flavor.

Most of these concept phones definitely embark an aura of appeal at first sight, however, it would be interesting to consider revision of your perspective, logically. The article will drive you through some interesting ingredients that make up our next flavor of the top 5 concept phones that may hit reality, and that’s actually how I started stirring up the soup.

1. Samsung Crystal Concept Phone:

Well, the picture below is perhaps a polished design of the latest Samsung Concept Phone or, er, we are not sure  if we can call it the work of a Photoshop artist. Give it a glance and you’ll immediately feel like you are looking at an extremely fine piece of a tinted mirror with bright violet-lit buttons at its bottom that do nothing but add more beauty to this already stunning masterpiece.

Technically, you may say, the screen looks perfectly like the Samsung Crystal LCD, which may be right, perhaps we cannot justify it until the technical specs are out. For now, we can just keep guessing about the specs and wish that Samsung blesses it with some 5MP plus camera, a good amount of internal memory, a microSD slot for more storage, Wi-Fi, a full web browser.

More importantly, support for mind blowing gaming graphics should also be included into the phone, to make complete use of that arrestingly beautiful LCD.

Let’s wait and watch if it actually hits the reality breaking the barriers where most of the concept phones usually succumb to death (and just remain a concept phone, afterall).

2.  Sony Ericsson Kuara Concept Phone

Well, this one is just another great looking Sony Ericsson Concept Phone. Let’s spin up the specs directly. You are looking at a black beauty with 8.1MP of camera, a3.5 inch OLED display, probably Symbian S60 5^th Edition OS and a great deal of regular stuff including Bluetooth, Web Browser, Wi-Fi and some pretty interesting stuff, we hope.

Until it’s official, we would only say that a concept phone like this can definitely be a part of reality. Can’t it be?

3. Fujitsu F-04B Projector Phone

Now this gizmo is one of the few concept phones that actually hit reality and it did. Why do you think, we are including it in the post, then? Reason: It was only a concept phone, when I first thought of writing it and it is still pretty the same, despite the fact that it has hit reality. Credits to its subtly fictitious design.

Featured: Fujitsu F-04B Projector Phone

So, coming to the point, it was first showcased at CEATEC 2008. Since then, a lot of improvements to its design have come through the way. It’s a sheer beauty in white, at first take and then you suddenly cannot help yourself but be jaw-dropped at its smart package of specifications.

A touchscreen display with a mobile phone projector, Bluetooth, QWERTY keyboard, and a whopping 12.2 MP camera are some major highlights of the phone. Atop of this,  the phone can also be split it two completely functional units – one with the display unit and the keyboard connected via Bluetooth and the other 1Seg TV and the projector unit (optional).

So, that’s our take on the marvelous technological beauty from Fujitsu. What’s your opinion, huh?

4. Nokia Facet Concept Phone

We are into concept phones business and what a disgrace would it be in not including Nokia in the play. Nokia has always lead the front with its interesting concept phones designs and this time, they have name the latest one as Nokia Black Facet.

Featured: Nokia Black Facet Concept Phone

This Nokia Concept Phones sports a groovy ‘Knot design’ with some revolutionary looks and prismatic gem-like surface. Features include multimedia connectivity possibly paired with Symbian S60 5^th edition or the latest Maemo OS.

The primary necessity of a camera must be compensated with perhaps, a 5 MP camera and little bit of standard features that all Nokia smart phones inherit as a part of the family legacy.  We’ll have to wait for further technical specifications to spark up and hopefully find out if it’s actually going to hit reality.

5. Leaf Phone For Environment-Friendly People

Here it is, the noble one, among the commercially glittering crowd. This concept phone is actually a leaf with a cap like covering (sound funny, right). But, let me tell you, it’s made from eco-friendly plastics, runs on solar energy, gets you internet access anytime and even projects a laser keyboard onto any surface (yes, the Die Hard kid style).

Featured: Leaf Phone Concept

Anastasia Zharkova, the designer of the phone has also suggested that it can also serve the purpose of a mini PC and can easily fit itself on human muscles, say your arms for instance, for making that uber-cool style statement.

Wonder, if the design is approved for what it is and makes it through the hurdles to the leap for reality.

Now it’s your turn to taste the new flavor and hopefully, savor it (because  “The power is yours” , so go ahead and justify it, if you feel like).

Oh mark your calendar and stay tuned ’cause we’ll soon hit back with another flavor. ( Well, that’s just another option that I owe you.)

It is designed to look sleek, curvy and beautifully arrests your attention at first sight. The face of the phone is sprawled by the beautiful 4-inch touch screen display almost to the end, where, presumably buttons for home screen, back and menu take over the screen’s stretch.

On its side is a pair of volume controllers and an audio jack at the top beside a set of standard buttons. A powerful 8.1 MP camera (the most powerful camera on an Android phone, yet) with a 16x digital zoom, auto focus, face recognition and geotagging features is flanked by a powerful dual LED flash.

The camera adds beauty to the back of the phones should be everything of goodness to earn your smile after each bright and lovable shot you click. Wonder, why Sony Ericsson does not entail Cybershot to its name.

Featured: Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 in White

It is consecrated with a powerful 1GHz Shapdragon Qualcomm processor (yes, quite the same one that people worshipped in Toshiba TG01, Acer Liquid and HTC HD2) flanked by 256MB RAM and supports microSD card for up to 16GB storage space, if you wish to upgrade from the 8GB card that’s  already bundled with the box.

The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support will have a way with all the wireless connectivity you need while the mini USB port has been structured into the phone to allow you to share your favorite files with your computer and data transfer.

Well, if Andriod is supposed to be a talisman for Motorola,  for Motorola Droid, then why should Sony Ericsson be an  exception? We suppose not. Well, rubbing hands in anticipation would not be that bad if it is supposed to hit the streets in Q1 2010 in black and white skins.

What Price? Good question, but the official confirmations for the same are yet to surface, meanwhile you can pump in a few more details of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 from here.

And yes, should you hesitate to think, this Android phone will be eligible for the newest Android OS upgrade, the Android Éclair 2.0.  Oh, that’s just another reason to shower an applaud to the newest member in the Android phones family.

Here are the month’s top 5 concept phones.

1. Sony Ericsson Walkman Concept Phone

Well, this Sony Ericsson Walkman Phone is too appealing to be called a concept phone. Take a look at the sheer beauty radiating from the black brassy looking body. Seemingly a touch screen walkman phone with enough giga bytes of storage, some 8MP camera, Bluetooth support, accelerometer feature, and very importantly a Sony Concept Phone engulfing the soul of a Walkman Phone.

Featured : SonyEricsson Concept Phone

And yes, its stylish design is to the credit of Sealover, the intellect behind the beautiful design of the concept phone. We wish that it hits reality soon and if it does, it’s sure to set the strings striking.  Keep our word for granted, if you wish.

2. Nokia B-Flow Concept Phone – The Curvy Concept Phone Wonder

Do you think we would miss out Nokia from our list of top 5 concept phones? No way. Because, the new Nokia concept phone has simply amazed us with is beautiful curvy design. Diego Peralta, the whizzo behind the design of Nokia B-Flow has let out a design that is in a way resembling the HTC Hero to some extent, atleast for the chin curve.

The cynosure? It should be featuring a touchscreen display that has got an enticing appeal. Thanks to the relaxed design tone put forth by Deigo. We expect it to be have some 8GB of internal storage, a micro SD card slot, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, a powerful camera under the hood and a decent web browser to start with.

Featured : Nokia B-Flow Concept Phone

The designer claims that the case was made using a three layered co injection of polycarbonate, where the base layer I storage, followed by a translucent pearl white layer and ultimately a transparent coating on top.

This Samsung Concept Phone can be fully customized by the user and the camera on board hides under the polymer screen only to make it transparent. Well, that’s just a little superfluous specifications listing, so we’ll have to wait longer to see if it actually hits reality, somehow.

3. Samsung Windows Mobile Watch Phone

Samsung and Wilson Song have one thing in common, their passion for designing cool handsets. Well, this one is a concept though, but mind you, it has got enough guts to transform itself into a portable media player, become a Stylish Watch Mobile when you need and even turn into a gaming console when you are going nuts of boredom.

Featured : Samsung Concept Watch Phone

It is reportedly designed to support motion sensing gamig with a ‘bend interface’ and can be operated using a stylus. The Samsung Watch Phone Concept also supports a pair of earphone, has a flexible wide display the should be playing games based on motion sensing technology.

4. HTC Android Phone Rumored To Be HTC Dragon, Possible?

Now, this is the first time we are reporting about a HTC Phone to be running  Android OS and yet be a concept after all. It will feature a 3+ inch large touch screen, perhaps, and a camera with surfeit megapixel power.

Featured : HTC Dragon ?

The HTC Android Phone should be a GSM phone and is rumored to be the much awaited HTC Dragon. Or, is it the HTC Touch HD2 loaded with Android OS? Only time will tell and we can just keep hopes high to see if it actually hits reality.

5. Fujitsu Concept Phone Feels Like A Soap Bar, Gets Transparent

If you thought Fujitsu only excelled in making digital cameras, correct yourself. The new Fujitsu Concept phone design is here to justify the fact. The new Fujitsu Concept Phone is shaped  like a bar of soap and  is blessed with extreme gloss on its surface.

Featured : Fujitsu Concept Phone

On the front face, a black button like structure silently sleeps in peace. We are not sure of what it does, yet.Fujitsu is yet to release the specs for its concept phone and we’ll wait to see if they are sensible enough to actually drive this piece of art to reality.

Well that’s all for now. But, we’ll hit back soon with another flavor…same day, next month. Stay Tuned!

But, before you rejoice, let me tell you, (as of now) it’s only for the lucky ones residing in UK .

Palm which launched the Palm Pre earlier through Sprint hinted long back about the launch of GSM version of the Pre which was obviously a long wait for the Palm Pre admirers.

Palm Pre GSM was launched in UK and Ireland(reportedly) on October 16th and Germany on October 13th.  As of now, Palm Pre GSM is available via O2 carrier in UK on a 2 year contract or an 18 month contract (whichever settles best with you) at £44.05 or £73.41 per month.

In a way, if you are planning for Palm Pre GSM on O2, you get the Palm Pre free against the slated contract fee. O2 is offering the Palm Pre for free on a 2 year 34.26 GBP per month contract with unlimited WiFi and 3G data. You can find more information at the O2 website.

Featured : Palm Pre

The Palm Pre features a 320×480 pixels capacitive touchscreen, a 3 MP camera with LED flash, 8GB on on onboard storage,built in GPS,  a Li-on removable battery. And yes, it’s the world’s first phone that comes with Palm’s exclusive Web OS.

It has the ability to integrate contacts from various sources (including some social networking sites) and view them as one list, has Microsoft Outlook to Google and everything you’ll ever need to work with the web using its Wi-Fi.

Share files over bluetooth or listen to music on a stereo headset that fits into the 3.5mm audio jack. Watch your favorite movies, browse through image gallery and explore countless dimensions of fun. The versatile Palm Pre brings all this and much more power rightto your Palm.

Featured : Palm Pre With TouchStone Charger

The Palm Pre is also blessed with Palm’s Touchstone technology that allows it to wirelessly charge the phone when place over the touchstone block. The phone is held by magnetic field and charging begins once the power to the Touchstone is switched on.

The Palm Pre has always been compared with Apple iPhone even before it was released. Some even went to claiming it as an “iPhone Killer“. In a way, it does settle as a vivid competitor, particularly with the multitasking feature that lets you switch between open applications (something what the iPhone cannot do, yet!).

“What the GSM Pre won’t have, at least initially, is the latest version of webOS. For manufacturing deadline reasons, Palm and O2 will ship the Pre with webOS 1.1.3, a few updates behind the Sprint CDMA model.

According to Palm, the eventual aim is “parity” between the two devices, but that won’t come until later on in 2009. Which is unfortunate for our European friends, but hang tight, we’ll get there”, reported mypre.com.

Precisely said, the global release of Palm Pre GSM has not been announced yet.

Nokia’s Tablet Series lineup just got a little bigger with a very substantial extension . Under the focus is the Nokia N900, which is the latest addition to Nokia Tablet Series. But, the Nokia N900 is not just a tablet device; it also doubles as a cell phone. Yep, that’s right.

It also has a 5 MP auto-focus camera with Carl Zeiss optics that is supported by a Dual LED flash for shooting brighter and clearer shots in the dark.

Nokia N900: Computer-grade performance in a handset

It is packed with a powerful web browser driven by the Mozilla engine to bestow a desktop like web experience combined with the pleasures of full-screen browsing and flash support. Copy and paste from webpages into email and vice versa is also possible.

When Nokia says desktop-like, it really means it. This Nokia Mobile Computer N900 is designed to handle multitasking, so that you can easily switch between open applications or return to homescreen to check for email or weather updates on those customizable widgets.

The smart Panorama Desktop feature of the Nokia N900 allows you to use multiple desktops at any instance. You can create as many personalized desktops as you want, one for music, one for friends and the other one for widgets and so on.

A fully customizable homescreen with support for widgets and advanced personalization is something that would be first to please you with the device. All this wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for the credit of the powerful ARM Cortex A8 600 MHz, PowerVR SGX graphics and 1GB application memory (256MB RAM and 768MB virtual memory).

Just like the Nokia N97, the Nokia N900 has 32GB of internal storage which can be expanded to up to 48GB using a 16GB microSD card. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v2.1, FM Transmitter with Radio, 10Mbps HSDPA  and 2MBPs HSUPA support.

The Nokia N900 will be available in select markets from October 2009 with an estimated retail price of EUR 500 excluding sales taxes and subsidies. The Nokia N900 will be displayed at Nokia World, Stuttgart, on September 2.

Nobody can keep a thief from stealing the device from your pockets, but there are several important steps which can be done so as to increase your chances of getting the iPhone back.

1. Turn On Passcode Lock

Most people are not careful enough to implement a passcode lock on their iPhones. Even though the passcode lock won’t prevent anyone from snatching your phone, but will keep your private information private. You can enable it by the following steps.

• Select “Settings”.
• Click “General”.
• Go to “Passcode”.
• Now enter a 4 digit password.
• You should always remember it.

2. Auto-Lock

iPhone comes with an auto-lock option, which automatically locks your phone after a specified period of time, and it requires the 4 digit passcode to unlock it. The auto-lock must be set on either one or two minutes to ensure that minimum time is spent on your unlocked iPhone.

3. Record Your iPhone’s IMEI Number and Serial Number

iPhone’s has a fifteen digit International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number which is used by wireless carriers to identify your phone. This can be noted on the back of your iPhone along with your FCC ID and serial number. These are important while reporting a stolen or lost device.

4. SIM PIN

You should assign a PIN to your SIM card, so it can’t be used in any other phones without the PIN. It should be entered when you turn the iPhone on, or when you replace the SIM card.

• Select “Settings”.
• Choose “Phone”.
• Now turn on “SIM PIN”.
• You will be prompted to enter the current PIN. You must enter the default PIN number.
• After giving the default value, you can change the code according to your liking.

5. Frequently Back Up Your iPhone

You should back up your device which is crucial in all situations. Even if you lose your phone, or if you are victim of a theft, or if you simply have a buggy iPhone which crash suddenly one day, backing up your iPhone insure the safety of your data.

6. Use some security software.

The usage of some kind of security software in iPhone helps to regain the phone in case of a theft or it will reduce the loss of valuable data in the phone. Some typical examples are

• GadgetTrak- It will help to find out the burglar by sending you his precise location.
• FindMe- FindMe automatically updates the location of your iPhone on Twitter.
• PhoneScream- PhoneScream will play a very loud siren and will vibrate rigorously when any unauthorized user moves the phone.
• Motion Alarm- Motion Alarm is a grown up version of PhoneScream which has more added features in it.

7. Steps to be done in case a phone is lost.

• Notify the operator so they can deactivate the wireless account so that thief can’t use your mobile account.
• Immediately file a police report which will reduce the further complications due to the misuse of the phone.
• Notify your important contacts. You should inform the people whom you contact frequently that it’s not you who is calling or texting them through your old number.
• You should change all your passwords immediately.

These steps will not ensure that your iPhone is never stolen but it will almost ensure that the phone is trackble at least for a while or the data is protected in case the phone falls into the wrong hands.
