CES 2004
Sanyo was showing off some really eye-catching 3G concept phones in their booth. They're not even prototypes - just concepts - but if anything remotely this cool ever hits shelves, it's sure to be a hit.
Both phones are optimized for video viewing, and include the ability to watch video full-screen in landscape (wide) orientation.
The first one features dual cameras, dual color displays, and stereo speakers. The OLED display folds and twists, to fold down facing in or out.
Unlike most secondary displays, the extra display on this phone is available only when the phone is open. The idea is to have a place for text messages, status, and similar types of information, without obscuring the video image on the main display.
The other concept is even cooler - a phone with a display on an adjustable arm, that also allows the display to be rotated to landscape orientation. The unique arm lets you use the bottom half of the phone as a base, so you can set the phone down and aim the display at just the right angle for TV viewing.
Again, the landscape mode lets you view video using the entire display. It also features stereo speakers.
Other unique design elements include talk/end keys located on the side - for use while the phone is closed - and an external display located on the back, (to allow for the display arm on the front). A miniSD card slot rounds out the feature set.
