What phones will be like in the future
Isn't the new technology fun?

Where does need end and want begin? One really needs very little.
I'd like a phone that is useable in very noisy environments- maybe using some kind of noise cancellation system, is light and thin enough to pop in your pocket nicely, but not have tiny fiddly little buttons, and is waterproof so you can drop it in the loo, or wash it, for instance after you've dropped it in the loo. Add a wireless charger or nuclear battery so you don't have to plug it in to charge it up. After that i want a telepathic system. |

The stuff that is already available is pretty cack.
As for the concept stuff, most of it seems pretty pointless. I do like Nokia's vision of the future though, it's somewhere on Youtube I think. Shame that most of the cool stuff won't be available for the next few decades. |

swiiiiiiiish. :0)
it's funnie that older phones used to last what a week on standby and talk time of 4 hours? had a samsung which lasted 3 days, and 2 hours respectively, sold it would have been great to advertise 10 years ago that phones in 10 years would be 1/4 the size, and last 1/4 the time on the battery ![]() and, a battery that doesnt need changing once a year remember reading ppl didnt want camera's on phones cos it means they could be asked prove that they really were at the library studying |

I personally think that we'll have the headsets we have now, except, that they'll take voice commands for when phone numbers need to be entered. You can then say 'phone disconnect' when you're finished with a particular call. I don't think this will happen for years yet though.

I'm not sure what they can do about keyboards, though. It's not entirely clear that current phones work as a form-factor. It might be better to have something with less functionality that you could wear on a wrist - a wrist phone - plus something with a lot more functionality that goes into a bag or briefcase. |

With image/movie projectors getting smaller and smaller,i think thats it's only a matter of time before we see a phone that has a good projector built in. Add the internet and you could watch BBCI player(for example) wherever you are on a 50 inch screen.
This would also double as a screen for web browsing and such like,incoperating the phones touch screen as a touch pad similar to the one you have on most laptops. Chavs on back of buses playing R'n'B music loudly on thier phones would evolve into chavs on back of buses projecting porn and movie clips onto back of peoples heads. The futures bright |

I know some, if not all, Samsung phones can do this. A phone that let's you permanently bar phone numbers you don't want to receive calls/texts from. Rather than have to change your number.
