phone concepts

[smpballa240]

I start this thread at the advice of bradysarlo

I posted an n-gage 2 mockup made in paint (partly to mock vej - no offense - and partly to alleviate my boredom in my hours of illness at home). SO.... I feel we need a thread devoted to phone designs or images that anyone feels like posting. That includes existing phones, someone else's concepts (try to give credit), your own concepts, etc.

I've attached my beautiful lil concept to this post. Tell me I don't belong on some kind of lead design team at Nokia.

...not bad concept in my eyes...
...would like to have a gameing-device that isn´t too childish, for example: I wouldn´t buy a GBA, but I would buy a silver or black GBA SP :) ...

That's exactly the problem. The n-gage looks too toy-ish (sidetalking... meh...). As much as I love my 3650 even it looks a little like something out of one of the new star wars movies (i.e. overly modern and with far too many curves for its own good). Adults and young adults want phones, not toys. Kids want toys. Well, and some of us want toys but our balls won't let us admit it. Regardless, I promise you the markets would mix better if Nokia had made the n-gage more graphically capable with a larger screen and in the form factor of a phone rather than a toy.

But anyway, feel free to suggest alterations to this design or download it and edit it yourself. Or just post your own design. Given the lack of activity with Nokia and series 60 phones, I figured this thread was a good idea to keep us busy and wishful.
