Mobile phone screens are getting bigger and bigger. The challenge is to figure out how to integrate it into a brick. Just like these weird concepts that push mobile real estate to creative limits, Nokia’s latest patent allows some creative fusion between the touch screen and button keys, reminiscent of the Sony Ericsson P series.

The challenge is to create a widescreen mobile phone that goes over the top in terms of design. The sliding keyboard concept is so 2008, apparently and in ‘09 we might be seeing some new calisthenics for phone hardware. The patents are self explanatory.
