Sony Ericsson Kiki Concept

@Markarian: Agreed, the iPhone screen attracts grease like no tomorrow :(

This looks like an odd phone but in a good way. I could see myself using this for about a week the getting bored. Phone is unique, just not unique enough to keep your attention

I've never been fond of sonys phone designs as of late. thank goodness it's only a concept because that things is ugly beyond belief, it's screen looks interesting though

just so you know, KIKI is a Tagalog word that means Va-Jay-Jay.

So this will be a hoot in the Philippines:

"May I use your KIKI?" can actually become a pickup line.

"i like green."

that's the best you got brian lam?

@yogibimbi: Propriety connector on bottom of iPhone. Fail
Propriety connector on right of Samsung ( they used Microi-USB last gen too) fail. I suppose mroe fail for chanigng from micro-USB

p.s we are not in the micro-USB revolution yet.

@PN - Artest->Ariza: Buttons are the way to go.

@Michai: argeed.

Word on the street is green is the new black, move over Mr.King

proprietary Sony power connector on the left. Fail.

@PN - Artest->Ariza: I love my iPhone, but I'd love it a hell of a lot more with a G1-style fold out keyboard.

Is that a monochrome screen?

Excuse me for not being excited.

I'd much rather have a full colour touchscreen for my mobile web browsing.

@PN - Artest->Ariza: lets not forget one hand use of the phone, smaller phones, lighter... like the majority of the market.

WHY the horrible proprietary port, SE, WHY?

@Joshua Tuttle: I was thinking something similar, since every phone I've had has had the nub on the 5 key. If you look, there are 4 green strips; each of which would correspond to the keys on a cellphone. I think the keypad will illuminate underneath somehow depending on it's function, especially since this is a Sony Ericsson phone.

@Husher: yeah the nub will be a finder, see my above response on why button phones are still good n needed.

@Husher: Button phones in general are though.

I must say that is an awesome screen but I really don't like sony phones this is the only one that has caught my interest.

Jarek James

@Husher: or as I was thinking it was a location finder. You know how the keys "F" and "J" have little nubs on a keyboard. "5" on most phones also have a similar nub defiantly helps with texting in class.

Joshua Tuttle

It looks like the top is a cover that opens up to the back side and it has the keys underneath it. Weird.

@deanbmmv:

or it opens up. that tab in the middles looks like a hook for a thumb nail.

@deanbmmv:
cheaper design?

*checks the title*

sony ericsson phones arnt cheap.

Husher

@PN - Artest->Ariza: gaming. fat fingers. cheaper cheaper cheaper. less energy. there is a market for the jitterbug, you know.

Dallifornia

the design reminds me of bamboo for some reason. i wouldn't be shock if the keypad was soft touch keys. as for the projection it could be cool however i dont think it would work well in the day light. or the lamp section of a home depot

Husher

@PN - Artest->Ariza:
Buttons are amazing are you freaking kidding?

TheCrudMan

I would guess the green strips illuminate with various button interface's depending on the application at hand, so numbers for call,s play n rewind n that lot for music, arrows for navigation?

@PN - Artest->Ariza: Cheaper design, generally more durable, easier to fix, better for blind people and people who need/want the touch of buttons under their hand.
I know it's quite nice but touch isn't for everyone or every circumstance.

Maybe its just me but I feel as though from now on we should do touchscreen only. Buttons should not be used in new phones and gadgets. I don't know about this phone but i see three buttons on the cover and it's a future concept.

Benefits of touchscreen are much more then the ones of button phones.

@knottydon: macano kiki mo? how much for your...? lol
