I know what you are thinking..."what the hell is this". Well its got nokia written on it....which could mean only one thing...this is a CELL PHONE.
If you have stopped drooling then let me tell u what this is all about.This is nokia's latest and shall i say revolutionary design for the future......
Is this nokia's answer to the I Phone...you bet it is. let me tell you how...
when apple launched the iPod , they created a revolution , a new segment , and became masters of that segment.Others followed but none could match the iPods (remember the microsoft Zune.....don't , i don't blame you!!!) there are mp3 players and then there is the iPod...no comparison.Apple has tried to repeat that sensation with the iPhone...but nokia is ready for them...the 888 isn't a competing product , it's a revolution in itself...and in it nokia has , what is undoubtably an iPhone beater.
“Form follows you”
A personal mobile communication device which lets you be free and fun. It is light, simple and carefree. You can change its form according to your needs during the day.
Features
It uses liquid battery, speech recognition, flexible touch screen, touch sensitive body cover which lets it understand and adjust to the environment. It has a simple programmable body mechanism so that it changes forms in different situations.
The functionality of design
You dont have to carry it in your pocket or on your wrist. You can carry it anywhere, in anyform. You can roll it, bend it, put on your clothes like a clip. It also makes some form changes that makes it more ergonomical: i.e. when you want to talk on the phone, the body form turns into the form of the good old telephone. You can personalize these forms and record them. So it fits you the best in the way that you have chosen. The functions that it has also create a feeling of electronical pet, as it senses your moves, understand what you want, respond you in the best way. It learns you, to fit you better.Also e-motions lets you send forms to the other 888 users. It could be the shape of a heart or a small dance. This way you can talk without words.
How the user interacts (this will blow you away)
E-motions… It means electronical motions that 888 has. You can send and receive forms from / to friends. You can send a heart shape to your girlfriend, so her telephone turns into an icon of heart. Or you can send a dancing form to your friends to call them to the party tonight. This is the fun side of the product. If we look from the functionality side, 888 is quite flexible. You can put it into your pocket, roll it and make it smaller, or put on your wrist when you want to make a video call on the go. If you want to talk like a normal telephone, there you have your telephone shape. We go through a lot of places and situations in the daily life, so it seems like one form is not enough.
