India’s Newest Nokia Phone?

This is more a prototype than reality, but like the Iphone the Nokia 888 can be as revolutionary. I can’t see the business applications for this phone, but since it’s a concept phone, chances are they can fill that need. Tying this whole story to India, Nokia recently opened a desgn studio in India read Nokia’s First Design Studio where Nokia has partnered with the Bangalore-based Srishti School of Art, Design, and Technology to design innovative phones.

Alastair Curtis, chief designer of Nokia, said, "India is a dynamic and inspiring place for designers, with its diverse mix of cultures, traditions, and color. The new satellite studio will help us further develop our understanding of this vibrant country, and to work more closely with its extremely talented designers."

There’s also a video on the concept phone: The piece is designed by “Tamer Nakisci”, who has already won “The Nokia Benelux Design Awards of 2005”
