Or should that be the "Samsung concept phone" or the Cocoon? Seems that Syntes Studio, who are behind the design of O2's shiny new 'design' phone, have had the idea growing for a while. The concept phone shown looking all butch and proto-Cocoonish here was dreamed up ages ago in 2004... and the second phone concept that went along with it should excite Toshiba Matsushita and their swanky new round LCD....More>...
The phone-cum-alarm-clock concept that sat on a charging cradle was drawn up when Syntes joined Samsung's Global Design Membership, and it was aimed at "a chic urban fashion interested woman working and clubbing in a metropolitan area". Soften its curves up a lot, swap its colours around a bit and you've got something that looks remarkably like the loveable Cocoon, don't you think?
The second oyster-like design that came out of the process looks like a wet-dream for Toshiba Matsushita since it would go with their new round LCD like ... well, a round cellphone around a new round LCD!
Whether a "sensitive down-to-earth young woman who has decided to live at the countryside" would use it or not... and whether Syntes also developed some fancy time-travelling LCD-design-detecting technology three years ago remains to be seen...
