Featuring full slide action, this very miniature Nokia 5200 toy is small enough to get lost among the coins in your pocket, yet still resembles the slider phone.
Did we mention it can slide despite its size? It can actually slide! Oh, and it also features an image of a kitty on the screen. Pst, Pst, here kitty kitty. — Andrew Dobrow
It’s no baloney. It ain’t no phony. Learning from the cult success of the song Banana Phone, LG presents its LG-SV280. This banana shaped slider phone features silky smooth looks and a sleek design, shaped aptly like John Cleese’s head (compare the two we swear it’s true). This marks the first time LG has created a fruit-cellphone hybrid.
Measuring in at a cool 101.4 x 48 x 23.8 cm, it’s definitly not the smallest phone on the market, but come on, it’s shaped like a banana people! The LG-SV280 will also feature a 1.3 megapixel camera with 142 MB of memory and deliciousness. Its 2″ 262k color TFT LCD screen should provide a crystal clear picture to show off to your banana enthusiast friends. When you receive a message, not only will you get the normal ring or vibe notification, but the banana colored lights will illuminate as well. The Banana Phone will be available in June 2007. We know we’ve said it a lot in this post, but just for good measure, BANANA. — Andrew Dobrow
This patent design from Nokia gets us all hot and excited. The N99 slider phone, which is now evidently confirmed from this patent, is going to be one pretty looking cell. Along with the gorgeous QWERTY keyboard and widescreen display, the N99 will also house an unruly 8 MP digital camera.
And oh, how we love the tablet style twisty number pad. The pad seems to be able to fold so that it can be used even in QWERTY mode. This thing is looking gorgeous. — Andrew Dobrow
