“Will India create a phone like this?”
Just the other day there was an article saying that Nokia has chosen India as the location for the first in a series of satellite design studios across the world i.e they would be having Indians suggest designs for future Nokia handsets.
Established via a two year partnership with the Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology in Bangalore, the design centre will give Nokia designers and India’s talented youth the opportunity to work together on new design ideas for India and the global markets.
coming back to the subject, an avid WATBlog reader (Siddhesh Gawde from pune) had recently given us an article on Nokia’s concept phone.
Although this news is certainly not the latest but its just one of those that you cant ignore.
Yes it’s a cell phone . at first it looks a lot like a strap-on bracelet. after that the first words i said were “Wow!! that’s Hot”
The Nokia 888 is the future of mobile. Its not just the looks that are cool even the features seem to be pretty cool.
So what all will the cell phone do?
Hummm.. because it’s a concept phone it can do about anything you want it to.
The bracelet-like 888 is envisioned to use a liquid battery,
feature speech recognition, a flexible touch screen, and a touch sensitive body cover.
including an alarm clock, PDA, GPS, phone, push email receiver, digital wallet other than the "liquid battery," (source)
Due to it’s artificial intelligence, it can sense your touch and adapt accordingly. E-motions’ are the electronic motions that can be shared between the Nokia 888 users. You can send and receive forms by this function. For instance, you can send a dancing figure while inviting your friend to the party, or a heart shape to your girlfriend (source – avid watblog reader)
heres a cool video of the Nokia 888 showings its features.
The piece is designed by “Tamer Nakisci”, who has already won “The Nokia Benelux Design Awards”
Huh!! And you thought the IPhone was cool… i guess this phone has everything one could ask for. shape looks, design, features, but will it be the phone of tomorrow or will apple and the other players come out with something more rocking.
Comin back to the Title "Will India create a phone like this?" now considering that Nokia has setup its design studio in India.
do let us know your thoughts
p.s. i guess we should change our current would you buy the iPhone poll to the would you buy the Nokia 888

One would wish Indian cell phones to have multilanguage support (other than Hindi and English ofcourse).
One is not looking hifi but really lowfi.
Hindi/English cellphones are available all over India…Even German/Spanish support cell phone is available all over India.
However Tamil/English/(with/without other language) does not appear to be available or very limitedly available outside TN.
Offcourse the wrist bands are great. Also great(?) most phones supporting but limited to Hindi.
Are Nokia and Samsung yets another example of MNCs going the Hindi-only way.
All the talk of hifi is less relevant to something really really concerns most Indian.
AN INDIAN NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO BUY A CELL PHONE WHICH CAN SMS IS HIS/HER MOTHERTOUNGE (which is not necessarily Hindi or Sanskrit).
Yes, I agree with Raj’s comment. It seems going the way MNCs that Hindi is the only language of India.
It is shame on these companies that they can’t do something basic of providing more models with non-Hindi SMS support.
One sees Bangalore very few models with Tamil SMS support, Tamils being close to 40% of the city.
Shame on Nokia, Motorola, Ericson, Samsung for this skewed strategy of faviouring only one language (Hindi) in a multilingual country. Hindians are not the only Indians.
