If you were used to carrying your mobile phone in your pocket, bag or hanging from your neck, you might have a problem getting used to the new concept phone NEC has prepared for you.

Going
under the name of "Tag" and coming in white, black or orange, this new mobile phone is made out of rubbery "shape-memorizing" material that allows you to bend the soft-shell in any way that you like.

By twisting and bending it, you can hang it on a bag, belt, wrap it around your hand like an armband, and you'll just have to use your creativity and think of more ways in which you could wear the "Tag" apart from those suggested here.

Not only will The 'Tag' bend and twist as you want it too, but the user can also alternate the mode by changing the shape due to multiple pressure sensors. It is not only malleable for the fun of wearing it as an armband or hanging it from a bag, but when bent in different shapes, it will also perform different functions.

The intriguing concept phone from NEC design is marked as "not planned to be commercialized at this point" but I guess that we'll just have to wait and see if it will be released or not.
