We already caught sight of KDDI au's cellphone as musical instrument concept devices last month, but it looks like the company's fanciful design group had plenty more than those to show off at CEATEC, as evidenced by Akihabara News' slew of pictures from the show. Those include the satellite-like device pictured above, as well as a neat little minimalist number pictured after the break and another folding contraption (also after the break) that we're still trying to wrap our heads around. Hopefully we'll get a chance to check these out ourselves before CEATEC wraps up but, until then, you can hit up the read link below for some more pics.
I thought it was a solar powered cell phone at first...
Looks kind of cool while it's closed.
(This better not be a MFin double-post)
Ahh... they ARE solar panels then.
The red one looks like a Pokedex.

The bottom one looks fun. Reminds me of the 'magic' wallets.
Does the first one come with "E.T call home" sound when it unfolds like that?

Isnt the "folding contraption" just a normal folding phone with buttons on the hinge? Or is there something else that I cant tell?
the solar panel one seems intresting.
At first glance I though that first phone was a picture of a satellite.
i love the piece of wood phone in the gallery.
Yeah, I knew you wood.
I thought the first picture was the rendering of some satellite....
I thought they were bring a new meaning to the word Satellite phone
Do some of those come with crazy electric/pneumatic motor sounds for when your flipping them open in one of their many shapes?
