14 DAY TRIAL // Mobile phone concepts come and go all the time, many of them being far from what you'd call "doable". This is not the case with a newly spotted concept named Mooon+ (yes, three o's and not two).
Mooon+ was imagined by the Korean designer Sunman Kwon and offers a wide touchscreen display, no hardware keypad ?hence it can only be controlled via its touch-based interface ? and a digital photo camera. Of course, since it's just a concept, there are no technical details about the phone.
Besides the fact that in terms of design it's one of the coolest handsets ever seen (you may not agree, of course), Mooon+ comes with a feature that no other handset has until now. Its lower part is a built-in Bluetooth headset that can be easily detached when you need it and also easily put back when you don't need it. So Mooon+ is a 2-in-1 device that would surely prove itself to be useful, since users will no longer have to carry separate headsets for their phone.
To summarize, we have an innovative and nicely designed phone that can actually be built now, and not in ten or twenty years time, unlike many other concepts that we've seen. What's left is for an important mobile manufacturer to try and transform the concept into a real device. If the Mooon+ had beeen real and I'd see it without knowing who produced it, I'd probably believe it's an LG phone, as there's something LG-esque about its design.
Anyway, I don't think anyone would mind if Mooon+ will be produced by Sony Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung or Motorola. As long as the device looks and functions perfectly, its manufacturer is less important. Now we can only hope that a producer will actually consider making the Mooon+.
