In 2005, Nokia organized a contest in Argentina, where they asked participants to design accessories for the Original Nokia Fashion Collection (7260, 7270 and 7280). Designer Manuel Lopez Revol presented his concept designs for this contest which he dubbed the Nokia Icon. Nokia icon is concept comprising of a wristband a ring that shows the user if the phone has rung or if a message has been received. The unique concept Bluetooth device conveys the information to their wearer in a subtle yet effective way. The wrist band features an OLED, duo-chromatic display which is covered by a polycarbonate case, and a D-Pad is located on its right, separated by a white line, like the ones present in Nokia 7280. By touching the pad up or down you can access and select the four different modes: messages, calls, watch and dynamic graphics. Touching left or right you can scroll the message, or load another one. The watch is the idle function on this concept wristband. The silicon rubber wristband can be easily interchanged with one of a different length or color.

Magic rings appear frequently in fantasy and fairy tale and they endow the wearer with a variety of abilities, including invisibility, the granting of wishes and immortality.

Talk about an age when you can stretch your favorite mobile device into any wearable form. Nokia is envisaging the same at its Cambridge Research Center. It’s developing a stretchable electronic skin, using elastic silicon rubber known for its flexible properties. The flexible piece of bio-electronics can be wrapped around a finger or simply placed on the forehand to work as a touchpad. It seems Nokia is bracing itself up to conquer the world of future foldable devices. Watch the Nokia 888 concept phone in action below.
