This is the Fujitsu F-Circle, a mobile phone concept designed by Yuji Ito. They say it has a "timeless" appearance, but I'm not sure about that. I mean, what's the deal with the shape? Is that supposed to fit in your pocket? I'll stick to traditional designs, thanks.

It's definitely an interesting looking phone, but I'm with you on that. It's a little much.

Might fit OK in a lady's purse, the that retro-look "dial" is cute, but thank goodness it's just a "concept."

Looks like something Stargate fans would like.

I like it. Every other cellphone is a variation of the same thing. This one new and looks like it may be easier to use. However, just how big will it be. Its gotta fit in your pocket.

I'm assuming that bottom appendage goes into the circle. Depending on the diameter of that, might be interesting...

BigD have you looked at that keypad? Have fun texting your friends on that. It looks somewhat cool, but I can't imagine it having very good functionality

I can appreciate the fact that someone had an original idea. Something different is good to see.

Interesting. Many years ago when engineers were just imagining cell phones they pictured them as round in design (in Popular Science ?).

I really like the design. I am up for new concepts why should we stick to told when the new could be just as nice.

Ummm anyone else see it?

I find this phone really cool. I mean yes, it is shaped as a magnifying glass, but it is very futuristic looking. Now if only they come up with flying cars and teleporters.

I really like it, at least they are thinking outside the usual soft edged box and trying something new. I think it would look better as a full circle with that menu bit sliding out or a touch screen, and it looks a little thick.

i designd a phone that had a round lcd like 7 years ago that had no pad like that....
i wanted a way to text faster and withe 2 fingures without a keabord so for me this one is overkill.
better contact me and get my design insted , is a bit more revolutionair in the interaction way..
