Nokia's Kinetic Concept Phone Stands Up When You Get Calls

It’s unlikely the Nokia Kinetic will actually ever make it to widespread production, but the idea of a phone that rests flat on a surface when not in use but stands to display the screen to you when you get an incoming call is an interesting one. The Kinetic is actually a concept from Jeremy Innes-Hopkins, a design student who wanted to create a truly unique looking telephone. What makes the Kinetic special however is the rounded bottom that controls the way the phone rests, and how it stands up when you get a phone call or tap the screen to make it stand up.  

The device looks like just about any other smartphone at first glance, with a nice large screen and buttons at the bottom of the face. It even has spots on the side for camera capture and mini-USB for charging and data, and a camera on the back. The idea of a phone that can stand on its own both to alert you to calls and to make it easier to watch movies is a fun one, even if it’s unlikely to ever appear on store shelves.
