I can’t stand it when I’m in the middle of an exciting conversation and my cell phone starts ringing loudly. Everyone stops from whatever they were saying or doing and stares at the person who interrupted the soul-lifting exchange of words. And the person is me and me only. I just hate that.



Therefore, I switch my phone on its silent mode whenever I am to meet someone and I never make an exception about it. It’s no wonder I rarely hear my phone and almost all the time I must return the call in order to find out the reason someone needed me. It’s no wonder, on the other hand, I am always advised to wear my phone like a pendant hanging from my neck, so I at least feel its vibrations whenever it’s ringing and never miss another phone call again.



But why should I make such a fool of myself when I could simply wear my phone on my wrist and people wouldn’t even dare to imagine that my bracelet is in fact my phone? Don’t to laugh at me, because, you know, there are lots of people who hate to carry around their phones, even if they get smaller and slimmer. Therefore, if carrying a mobile phone in the pocket or bag seems inconvenient, then wearing it on your wrist might be just what the doctor ordered.



The cell phone bracelet concept was developed by the Chinese designer Tao Ma for the 2006 Lite On Corporation awards. Whenever this shiny bracelet phone receives any message it starts slightly vibrating and you can read the text by taking it off the wrist and pressing its precious looking-like-a-diamond keystroke.



The same thing happens also when you want to pick up or make a telephone call. Based on simplicity, the concept might look like it’s compromising the display and the controls, which are placed on the inner side of the bracelet. There’s a small rigid section in the middle that houses the display, chips and battery, while the microphone is at one end (with the keypad buttons above) and the small speaker at the other end.

The bracelet includes an MP3 player and can be connected to headphones, which means you can replace your iPod or other MP3 player with your multifunctional bracelet phone.



You should be aware of the fact that most of the concept phones will never become an actual product and won’t be commercialized, but it’s interesting to see how mobile phones will look like in the not-so-very-far future.
