The Future of Cell Phones According to Nokia

T3, the world's #1 gadget magazine, is reporting about Nokia's exhibition of futuristic mobile phones by design students at London's Central Saint Martin's College of Art and Design. The Finnish mobile phone manufacturers teamed up with design students to get their opinion on what the next generation of mobile phones should be like (who better to ask then the target demographic who will buying them).

The designs are on public exhibition until June 16th. The ideas range from handsets made from recycled material, phones that double as photo frames, and even a phone that can be setup to perform surveillance (above).

Some of these ideas are very innovative but I doubt we'll be seeing them anytime soon. These designs are projections of possible fifth-generation products which are speculated to be released in 2015, nearly a decade wait time. Now I know that manufacturers like to get our attention early but I don't think I can wait that long to get my hands on one of these.

I think that many manufacturers of electronics are catching on to what the automotive industry has known for years. While we may never see these prototypes released, there are definitely features that will leak their way into modern day phones as the technology to accomplish it emerges.
