Video: Nokia GEM – touchscreen everywhere official Nokia Concept.
Just this morning we got around to finally posting about that new twisty Nokia phone, sort of like morph with some features and nanotech aspects. It was a very radical departure from what we see at Nokia and it’s fantastic again to see more concepts in design and UI in action with the new Nokia GEM concept.

There are a lot of new interaction methods we haven’t seen (or at least I haven’t) before. Some polishing some just very new and innovative altogether. I’ve always wanted side touch gestures. Now if that’s a touch screen you can replicate all sorts of buttons.
You’re really going to have to watch the video to take it in.

Like a gem, it has many facets. Diamond in the rough? What could refinement and polishing do? What’s the time frame to see this come true?
I think the 710 design would be more gem like. This kind of shape kinda looks like an elongated skull or beer glass – though the point was to afford that fitting-in-hand that would allow those side icons.
What’s with all the concept Nokias?
This concept release is timed to coincide with Nokia’s celebration of 25 years of disruptions in the mobile phone industry and is a declaration of intent that they aim to continue to produce such gamechangers.
And it’s a confirmation of Nokia’s commitment to their corporate research centre, which has played a leading role in setting GSM, 3G and many other standards and technologies adopted across the industry.
Watch out for more Gems celebrating NRC over the next few weeks.

That is so cool. Not sure about drawing the camera lens on, but I like the concept. If that style of sharing (drop files into the other) comes out, it’ll be cool.
nokia low end phone is really great
that looks amazing but also comlicated
Definitely awesome, although the UI needs work
the noobs wont be liking its complexity
Hmmm… Needs refinement. But nonetheless, absolutely rad.
the future still uses icons
LOL at her looking under his pants on his 3D picture
This was made for Symbian. These videos are all over a year old.
That was the real power of Symbian… Now everything is gone waste. Sigh
What the heck are you talking about? This is a NRC concept video. It isn’t made for anything.
what a ugly piece of shit…ugliest ever…they better invest in Symbian and MeeGo
I’d be okay without the back panel, but those side panels looks really interesting, and could be implemented already.
That bear was a bit creepy…
draw a “c ” to launch camera! nice one!
side panel works as quicklauncher bar
two touchscreen in one phone!
impressive design
make it real, all phones will be outdated
One Word Awesome!!!!Just Awesome!!!
yet again…..SYMBIAN IS ALWAYS THERE TO SAVE NOKIA’s ASS
Will also this be killed for not being WP? And by the way, this is a serious question.
Everybody will laugh about this concept – until it’s called “the new iPhone 7″
That’s the problem with Nokia. They reveal their “disrupting technology” way before they release it. They sould learn about that from Apple, if Apple would have showed the iPad way before the release, they would have let the competitors catch up and they wouldn’t have the great makert share difference they currently have.
+10
I absolutely agree. But Nokia just never learn from their mistakes…
Looks pretty cool.
Great… Good concept Nokia. Now release it fast, or else Apple will implement it in Next Iphone. Does Anyone remember Nokia concept device ”Aeon”?.
that is actually kind of awesome… I would rock that in a FRIGGIN HEARTBEAT. Much prefer that concept over the bend-o-nokia
This is a cool design. Will see if it’s just a concept design only.
its cool!!! but, when will you release that??
