Ergonomics take center stage with the ‘Balance’ cell phone concept. It seems to me that cell phones are built rather than designed, and the way they fit in your hand has taken second place to size and technology; get the buttons in, make lots of them and put them in the tiniest space possible.
The ‘Balance of Communication’ by Heikki Juvonen is just that; it has all the heavy parts of the phone placed in the area where the nicely sized keypad is. There is a ridge in the middle for you to securely hold the piece, above which the screen area narrows slightly, creating a lightweight upper section and allowing for a perfectly balanced form when held.
The shape of the ‘Balance’ handset is very futuristic and from the side perspective, almost reflects the shape of an athletic shoe.
The whole smartphone phase has put this huge weight on the importance of business as it pertains to these devices. I think people need to relax, and in turn, let their phones relax. Cue the iHammock. 
The iHammock is a small and quirky concept for a docking system that is the perfect little paradise for your coveted iPhone. The design shows an easy assembly that features a base, a hammock and even little umbrellas to block the sun.
It’s about time we stop putting so much weight on these amazing little devices and offered them some time to chill out in some shade!
If you’ve ever wondered what over-the-top luxuries comprise a seven-figure cell phone, look no further than the Aloisson iPhone 3G ‘King’s Button.’

If you have to ask… $310,000. The Vertu signature “Cobra” phone is a little more special that what you’re using. The phone is encrusted with a cobra of diamonds, rubies and emeratds. Totally worth it!
Ulysse Nardin is really good at making luxurious watches and I don’t understand why they need to make phones, but then, it’s all about going green. The renowned Swiss watchmaker has now partnered with the European firm, SCI Innovations, to create a hybrid smartphone called Chairman
Most mobiles out there (with the exception of the iPhone) either feature large displays or large keyboards, but never both. The Blackhole Phone is a texting-lovers dream, as it provides users with ample display areas and large-sized keyboards. 
With the Blackhole Phone, users read text messages on one side that features a full-screen display and flips over to reveal and a complete keypad with a smaller display to write text messages. The mobile uses motion-sensing technology, much like the one used on the iPhone, to detect when the phone is being flipped over.
Technology on cell-phones is more than fashion forward. The company Infopia USA has the patent for a glucophone. 
This LG phone has a glucometer built in. The phone works alongside the company’s Eocene diabetic management system. Results are sent to a secure server which graphs and helps manage your disease.
Only authorized users will have access to your account.
It’s perfect for children whose parents are constantly wondering if the child tests enough, automatic texts of results can be set up, as well as reminder alarms.
No more logbooks!
Dr. Aydogan Ozcan at UCLA has created a disease-detecting cell phone by hacking a Sony Ericsson w810i camera phone. Using a filtered light source, the hacked cell phone captures images of cells that are then analyzed on a desktop computer. 
According to Wired, Ozcan’s technology allows the hacked cell phone to detect specific diseases like malaria or count CD4+T cells to monitor an HIV patient’s health.
Now I can’t promise that this Golden Buddha cell phone will help you find inner peace, but I can promise you’ll be turning heads left and right every time you use it.
The Golden Buddha cell phone was designed by Chinavision (no high-end stuff to back this product up with) and features a 24k gold plated finish that is designed as “the single best phone for the successful businesswoman that wants to announce her elite status to the world.”
I wouldn’t think a Golden Buddha cell phone would do that, but I will say I wouldn’t hesitate to pull out this baby to show off to the world. It comes in at a whopping $1,877 (CAD).
There is an unwritten law of popular culture that states that no gadget, no matter how cool it looks when it is released, must be left stock; these gold iPods prove this point quite succinctly.
Goldstriker International is a UK-based company that basically gives your iPod or iPhone the Midas touch in rose, yellow or white 18K and 24K gold. Although you can purchase a brand new gold iPod or iPhone, Goldstriker will also take an iPod or iPhone you’ve already purchased, encase the gadget in gold and get it back to you in 48 hours. Because of the wide range of golden possibilities, prices range from £60 to £823.

Vertu was born from an obsession to create a personal communication instrument that deployed craftsmanship and technology in a way that had never been achieved before.
They took the finest materials from the world of watchmaking, automotive, aeronautics and jewellery. They then made them even better, to come up to Vertu’s exacting standards.

Inspired by the design of classic sports cars, the Vertu Ascent is as tough as it is elegant. Twice as many hours went into the research and development of the Vertu Ascent than goes into
a modern Formula One racing car.
The Liquidmetal® chassis is flexed under 55 kilograms of pressure to check for elasticity and ‘return to form’ in the event of it being dropped.
Specially developed silicone mouldings under the leather at each corner protect against wear and tear. The leather is tested for its resistance to everything from petrol to lipstick.
Each key is micro perforated by laser – over 575 holes are drilled in a single keypad, to create the effect of light shining through solid steel. In fact, every component in a Vertu Ascent is crafted for performance.
When we showcase concept phones here on CB, we instantaneously understand that words will merely irritate you readers and it is the images which you wish to perceive. We sure regard your whimsies but a couple of lines shouldn’t bother you much. The molecular handset concept has been designed by Tjep Design and is based around a bunch of cells glued together using the ‘power’ that binds the atoms-all symbolic people. The phone is only good for taking calls and texting and nothing more but we still appreciate the freshness of thought.
The DYA Cell Phone is a diagonally sliding mobile that changes the way we receive and make phone calls.
When not in use, the DYA Cell Phone slides back into a compact iPhone-esque shape. It also features unusually shaped round bubble buttons that give this concept phone a futuristic look.
DYA also has an elastic paint to help prevent damage.
