Nokia Makes a Wiggly Phone

"The New Nokia 888 Can Change Shapes On The Fly"
The Hottest Gadgets (August 26, 2008)

"Nokia is planning to change the way we think of mobile phones. Their new phone will come in the form of a device that will roll up and mimic a bracelet, bend over and clip to your pocket, wake you up in the morning, form to fit your face when you use it as a phone and more. So far Nokia's calling this cell phone a personal mobile communication device. To me it looks like a revolution in the way you look at a gadget...."

Okay. This is cool. And, I think, practical. One of the illustrations shows the phone worn as a bracelet - and having a screen display that could hold more than a sentence or two.

Impressive.

Telephone Systems Northeast Mississippi,

About "Oh by the way, does this phone exist nowadays?" - I spent about a minute, doing a Google search for something from a recognized information source about the Nokia 888. I didn't find anything since about 2009, when it was still a cool concept.

There is a Nokia 888 website, but I didn't - and won't, at this time, check to see who registered the domain. Or if whoever did is hiding behind an anonymizer.

Somebody's going to be the first with this sort of technology.
