Yanko Design’s bracelet cell phone concept.


     Yanko design has posted this concept cell phone design (by Tao Ma).  Among the features in the concept are: vibrating call notification, a built-in MP3 player, and operating buttons that look like jewels.

     So, you can’t get this elegant mobile solution quite yet, but it does look like a promising concept.  Until then, the slimmest mobile you are likely to get ahold of is SMS Technology’s M300 Mobile Watch which may be available down under as soon as this month (March).

Thanks to engadget.

This looks pretty cool, but how the heck would you dial on it?? :)

I live in Israel where it’s very common for people to carry more than one mobile phone.

One of these on each wrist? Something tells me the “handcuff” look isn’t the latest fashion ;)

Well now melvynadam, you have never been in Oakland, have you?

The device looks nice but I wonder how user friendly it will be. For starters, I don’t see a visible screen. If there is one, it will probably be too small to see. Makes SMSing a pain. I suppose this is a good phone for people who uses thier phones only for calls and to look great at the same time. =)

I agree, Maximus. Also, if those “jewels” are the dialing buttons, they look very difficult to use.

If they build Bluetooth in, it would make a nice companion to a PocketPC. You could SMS and dial from the address book on your PPC.

Guys relax – it’s a “concept phone” by a designer. The thing is only supposed to look pretty and surprise people when they hear it’s a phone. It won’t be manufactured. It won’t be sold. It was definitely not put together with the geek community in mind. They’d look at your mobile gadgetry with equal disdain.

And no… I haven’t been to Oakland.

Ha! I actually think it’s pretty cool. Of course there would be no SMSing, in which case it’s pretty worthless to yours truly, but more and more people are multi-phoned, so I could see designs like this happening in the future. Nice post!
