If you want to have a cool customized phone, and you don’t want to have the same common mobile phone just like everybody, maybe it’s time to pimp it with some gadgets, which are useful too in most of the cases. Here are some interesting and funny gadgets for your phone, which will make it special!
<-300×250 Medium Rectangle – center->
I bet that a lot of you would like to take the iPhone to the beach, or pool and take a lot of pictures without any damages caused by water. The waterproof iPhone is supposed to offer you support in this idea, and it is pretty cool, but actually I wouldn’t trust a little “waterproof” bag to take care of my iPhone. This case has a clear window in front, for the screen, and in the back part, for the camera or the videocamera. It is supposed to work with well with the touch screen capability, I didn’t test it yet, but I hope it works well, because otherwise the phone is useless with this case. It costs $34 an it is available in Japan.

This is one of the cutest gadgets I’ve ever seen! It is a Bluetooth earpiece case/holder and it is so cool because it has the shape and the color of a blue tooth. If you think that you don’t need something like this, you can give it to children to play with it, or you can actually hold your dentures when you sleep, during the night. It is a trendy and interesting gadget, and I personally like it because it is the material expression of the “Bluetooth” technology.

A bluetooth headset which can be folded into a ring is a great hi-tech idea. With a simple twist it can be converted into a nice jewelry piece. This gadget is called Orb and it was launched in January. It is really nice idea to keep the wireless earpiece when you don’t use it. It can be hold on the ear, and it looks like a fancy earring, or you can put it on your finger! It’s such a simple and useful idea! If you don’t need another thing in your pockets, like the earpiece, the finger is the right place to wear it! It might look weird and pretentious, but I see it as an elegant storage solution.

A limited edition iPhone case is always something interesting for iPhone users. And if it has the form of a mixtape it is even cooler. The iPhone is like a mixtape somehow, it depends on the “point of view”. This case is made of hard plastic, and it costs only $30. Cool limited edition. I would like to have something like this in my bag or in my pocket, because it would remind me of the good’ol’days.

Well, I’ve seen a lot of shapes for mobile phones, and phones is various sizes, but this is the most unusual one I’ve seen. It’s cute and it is…ta-daa: Winnie the Pooh shaped phone. The phone opens in a clamshell manner, and the screen and buttons are revealed. This little wonder is dual sim capable, and its screen is a 2” one. Winnie can play MP3 and MP4 files, it has a 1.3 MP camera, and you can also listen to radio, because it is FM capable. It supports also GPRS, it has two speakers, and Bluetooth is also available for syncing with the computer. I don’t think this is a Disney licensed mobile phone model, but it looks great, and I like it very much!

I hope you enjoyed these cool phone gadgets, and please comment and tell us your opinion if you already own one, or what improvements could be brought to them, of if you don’t have one of these presented here, what other phone gadgets you would like to own?

Chameleonic concept phone

Monday, March 9th, 2009 |

When it comes to the sources of inspiration designer use for the design of their devices, they seem to be part of a permanent battle that is to be won by the weirdest of them all. And the mobile phone that I’m about to present to you in the following lines is inspired from a wacky source, one that might not have crossed anyone’s mind ever before.

Anyway, the concept phone is called the Whiskey Cyon Phone. And yes, it’s inspired by the “delicious beverage”, which is, most probably, the designer’s favorite. Otherwise, I don’t understand why he decided to choose precisely the whiskey. It’s kind of weird, but we don’t have the right to judge anyone! It’s not like all cell phones should be inspired by perfumes, nature, little birdies and so on!

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

Created by Juyoung Kim, the concept phone is able to change its color in a twinkling of the eye. All you have to do is to ask someone to call you, from all over the world. You’ll see that the Whiskey Cyon is indeed chameleonic. This means that the phone can give you the information (not very precise, of course) about the person who calls you and the location of that certain person.

Therefore, if you’re talking to someone that lives and gives you a call from the same town as you, then the device will turn “mild whiskey”. If, on the other, the call is made from thousands of kilometers, then the color will change immediately to a darker shade.

As far as the features are concerned, the concept phone will include a full touchscreen and an 8 megapixel camera, but this is about everything we know in this respect.
