Nokia are at great pains to point out that whilst this is a concept handset, it's a concept with real research backing it up. In fact, it's so real that they displayed it at New York's Museum of Modern Art, albeit without it having any functionality whatsoever. And it's called Morph.
The idea is that it's so thin and flexible it's possible to use it in a number of different ways. It can be used as a keyboard when it's laid flat, as a traditional mobile when folded in half, and when you wrap it round your wrist and use it as a bracelet, it can be paired with a headset for calls.
The main stumbling block for actually producing something like this is battery power, since they're still bulky and difficult to manipulate. I will give £4 and whatever's in my pocket right now to anyone who can create a flexible battery.
