Sony P5i - the best concept phone

Sony Ericsson is in the final testing stages for their P5i device. Sources describe the P5i as the 'ultimate' smartphone, which is quite a claim for a device that hasn't even made its way to the rumor pipelines.

The P5i is rumored to feature a 2.8" touchscreen, HSUPA internet connectivity, WiFi, and a 5MP camera with flash and auto-focus. While information on the P5i remains very scant so far, rumors also seem to point to the device containing GPS support. The source who says they were one of the testers has even designed a mock-up of what he remembers the phone to look like. The mock-up shows a different interface than the typical Sony Ericsson UIQ, more so resembling Sony's Cross Media Bar (XMB) interface.

If rumors hold up, this phone will be officialy announced November 15, though the phone won't be readily available until May or June of next year. No news yet if the phone will be integrated for North America HSPA networks.

PSP concept from Ericcson

Here is the latest concept phone from Sony Ericsson. It offers multidimensional features in a single model. If the slide is moved down, you can see a keypad. If the slide is moved up, you can see the gaming keys. It also offers other standard features from Ericsson such as a 3.2 MP camera, a media player in it. The added advantage is that of a WiFi connectivity slot which helps you to browse at any place. The major disadvantage is the battery life. Since gaming requires more power from the source, a normal phone battery cannot withstand such power. Sony has to change the battery if its PSP concept phone has to find success in the market.

Eco Sensor Concept from Nokia

Check out this new concept phone from Nokia. Called the Eco Sensor Concept, it not only allows you to make calls to others but also monitor various parameters such as weather details, our own health conditions and many other parameters. The added advantage of this mobile is that it works with solar power. Its actually a 2 part concept. It is worn as a watch on the wrist were it gathers all the details. In the second part of the concept, it transfers these details to the phone via radio frequency. Sounds superb right.
