The Nokia N99 Concept Phone

That is what Nokia fans dream about

I like phones. Cellphones, landline phones, old phones, new phones, in "one word" every type of phone you might think of and for these devices, I have to send a big thanks to Graham Bell, the guy that invented this technology in the first place (wherever it may be now).

No matter how much I like them, there is no dispute on which of them I like best because the dearest place in my phone loving heart is available and ready to be filled up with new, crazy and as innovative as possible concept phone designs.

The concept
that caught my attention today is the Nokia N99 which is equipped with a HTC-like side sliding full QWERTY keyboard and seems to be a close relative of Nokia's N800 Internet Table.

Of course, the guy that did all the work took care of it and pimped it up with a flower-power style 9-way joystick which, combined with the sleek looks of the N800 and the overall white pearl color of the device, kind of gives me the sensation that the individual which designed it carries an iPod in his pocket all day long and has its ears carefully covered with the iPod's earphones.

The one that put it all together also sent in a virtual spec sheet to make all the Nokia fans drool on their monitors while reading it, a spec sheet saying that this device should have a 16 GB Flash internal memory, a miniSD memory expansion card slot that can go up to 4 GB (who's needing miniSD when you have 16 GB of built-in memory? :) ), a 3.2 inch real 16:9 wide screen (not like the iPhone), a multimedia player with MP3, DivX, XviD, MPEG and AVI files, GPS capability, Wi-Fi wireless connectivity and a 8 megapixel digital camera capable of recording videos at 30 frames per second.

Summing it up, this is pretty much the dream of everyone that ever used a mobile device and I advise you not to try calculating what the N99 would cost because the number will be quite astronomical.

It does look sexy, it does have everything one might want in a handheld and I guess the only things missing on it are some type of anti-gravitational system, an invisibility technology and it being capable of making sandwiches and fried eggs.
