Sony Ericsson bracelet phone concept unearthed in patent app
Yeah, we can probably safely leave this one in the file we found it in: you know, the one marked "never going to happen." Regardless, when we spied this little dude on Unwired View, we thought we'd pass along the weirdness. Unearthed in a Sony Ericsson patent application mysteriously dubbed "Mobile Terminal," what we have here is a bracelet mobile phone concept, sort of reminiscent of LG's infamous GD910 watch phone. This one's got some added fun in the form of keys on the side of the wristband for a fuller typing experience. Like we said, it's never going to happen, but that won't really stop us from hoping.
The "Bracelet Phone" concept -- is it the thinnest phone yet?
Just when we think we've seen style in all things mobile, the cellphone comes out being almost completely redefined in some new perverse way. Although we have not yet seen the cellphone earring, Nokia's Vertu luxury brand is swanky enough for pure enjoyment (at least for eye candy). Now, enter the cellphone bracelet. While this is not quite the concept the writers of Dick Tracy hand in mind, the "Bracelet Phone" vibrates slightly when it receives messages and calls. Movements past that point -- you know, like to answer the call -- require the wearer to take the "phone" off the neck and press a "diamond-like" stone to actually start conversing. We're kinda iffy on whether this is an "elegant" solution like the manufacturer claims -- but at least the m300 wristwatch phone is for real while this unit is a concept only right now, so elegance may have to wait. We're also we're told that the bracelet-phone has an MP3 player built into it; we're really ready and waiting to see how text messaging works on this baby, though.[Via Uber-Review]
