Excuse me, your pen is ringing

From all the ludacris ideas that mobile phone concept developers have come up with, the pen phone has all chances of earning itself a special place. This concept's creator actually hopes on a future deployment of the idea, as it could turn out to be pretty successful.

Watches with integrated mobile phones must have sounded odd and stupid in their beginning as well. The same might go with the pen handset, although this solution is somewhat less practical. After all, as light as the producers might manage to make this pen, it will never be comfortable enough to actually write with it, an issue which was less important in stripping such a device onto the user's wrist.

Interestingly enough, the developer thought of using the two ends of the pen as a receiver and an earpiece. If Bluetooth connectivity were available, this would make the pen phone even more efficient, as the user could communicate and use it for writing at the same time. It sounds like a pretty efficient solution for cheating on exams as well, although hiding the Bluetooth headset should prove to be the real challenge.

The device also has a tiny display screen, for revealing the caller's identity and a series of buttons arranged through the entire length of the pen phone. They should prove to be great for typing phone numbers and entering new contacts, although it looks like the worst possible solution for writing a text message.

There is a huge number of weird looking devices out there combined with mobile phones, just as there must be tons of pens with a second personality. The developer stated that this concept has yet to be finished, which leaves hopes for seeing an actual real version of the pen phone, although there are no hopes for it to arrive in the immediate future.
