> BYB Balance Mobile Phone - A Concept to look out for
Bookmark topic
"Balance" is an authentic luxury-smartphone. Up to now, these two categories (luxury and smart) have diverged, and few well-executed alternatives exist.

The choice of material (titanium and stainless steel) and its mechanism (a shell-slide solution) impart exclusivity to the phone, while its features satisfy the most exigent business and multimedia requirements.The 45 x 73.5 x 10.25 mm concept combines the advantages of shell- and slider phones; when placed inside a pocket, the phones two inner touch-sensitive screens are protected, its storage therefore requiring no special attention. Flipped over, however, the advantages of the slider can be fully made use of, while in desk stand mode, the phone can be used as a clock or a digital photo frame, without the aid of a separate stand.The phone can be operated in multiple ways, either via the touchscreen displays (main - 2.8 inch , 400 x 240 pixel, 262K TFT), or with the help of the buttons located around them. Furthermore, the MindPad - first introduced on account of the BYB MulTicket allows the user to draw characters and symbols using simply his/her finger, which are then interpreted by the device, thus allowing for rapid and simple input.The backside touts a 5.1 megapixel camera equipped with auto focus, 2x optical zoom, QuadLED assist light, concealed by an active optical safer. The phone is GSM/3G/HSDPA compatible, with WiFi, BT 2.0 and GPS connectivity. Furthermore, it is equipped with a 3.5 mm and a MiniUSB port, and its 512 MB internal memory can be expanded with the help of a MicroSD card. Watch:

I'm tired of all these nifty designs... completely unfeasible ones...
Designers are a bunch of "iluminated" persons who don't know jack about engineering or have technical knowledge.
So they grab their nice Autocad/3D Studio (made by engineers), draw a couple of lines and expect engineers to come up with solutions for their weird and impossible ideas...

nothing, well almost nothing, is impossible so perhaps we can see this as the designers simply setting the engineers a challenging task to produce such goodies as this... and one day I'm sure they will

Well thats not entirely true as many of the best concepts have been made into working handsets, such as the
Black Diamond and
Opus Operis
I don't think there are any limits to design, i think its very healthy for ordinary people to dream up extraordinary designs so that phone manufacturers can take inspiration from them and keep them on their toes!
Having said that we have always got the Chinese to replicate and copy designs.

Anyway... looking at this concept... how are both phone's blocks attached? magnets?
If so, how can one of them hang on the air?
It reminds me of a USB storage pen designed a know russian designer (can't remember the name) that would inflate as the data on the pen would grow. How does he expect to achieve that? Air pumps?

The Key word here is \"Concept\" we aren't engineers or designers so we can't get into the specifics on how to make this design workable?
Although i agree that how those two seperate blocks will be attached is a tricky one? but with a few design modifications the manufacturer can pretty much build 95% of that phone.
