Nokia E10, a Foldable Phone With MeeGo and Solar Batteries (concept)
 
Viewing pleasure... :)

Foldable phones are a niche that wasn’t exploited by designers lately, but we got the trend back thanks to Chris Wang, who created the Nokia E10 concept. This device looks really nice and comes with a foldable display, that’s made out of flexible material.
Also, the screen is thin enough to roll around a 6 mm axis, thus saving space. Nokia E10 is all about flexibility, both in interface and design, so it becomes a normal phone when folded up, allowing you to use a standard touchscreen. Through it you’ll make phone calls, send texts and mail, play games and perform other standard activities.

If you unfold the handset, you’ll turn it into a tablet-like unit, supporting high-def pictures and video viewing plus extra space for web browsing. Touch control is also supported and the unit is powered with the aid of 3 solar batteries, that are complemented by a Lithium battery. This is possibly the most complex MeeGo device we’ve seen so far, so we say congratulations to the designer, Chris Wang.

Interesting, though unlikely to see the light of day (pun intended). Please add "concept" to the thread title.

yep, surely this technology is experimental, not experienced enough and too much expansive today to see on mass-produced market, maybe in 5 or 10 years...
yes, "concept" added.

Looks amazing and I I'm confident that devices like this (maybe not this actual one) will come up next years. Probably with b/w-screen like in ebook-readers, which are foldable and use much less power than color displays. Together with a touchplate for navigation thiis would be quite usable, leightweight and still offering a huge display compared to actual sizes!

Hopefully sooner rather than later, see here, a scrolling screen would be really cool and amazingly useful - big screen with portability.

Can I be enlisted as a beta tester for the prototype?

may also combine it with the E-CU concept design for converting heat into battery energy
