Dark Label presented Retroxis, a very interesting concept phone designed by Lim Sze Tat.

Retroxis reflects a retro approach towards design with clean aesthetics, optimum controls and functions. It is encased in high polished polycarbonate renowned for its lightweght and toughness and the invisible OLED display silently hides away when inactive to make your phone look clean and stylish.

Smokers, get ready for one strange device. The Chinese invented what seems to be the first Mobile Phone Cigarette Pack. Cigarette King 3838 has a unique cigarette pack shape and, beside the VGA Camera and the MP3 player it has a place at the back where you can keep 7 cigarettes, for rainy days. The phone also comes with a free lighter and a pack of real cigarettes.

Of course, the phone has printings warning you that smoking is bad for your health. Apparently the phone costs around $200 but we have no idea if it will come out of China.

This leaked picture shows what is probably the next Nokia 7088, which was just approved by the FCC and it doesn't look bad at all. There are no specs available, but the phone looks like a slider with a 128x160 64k TFT display and by its colors, it looks like a L'Amour phone. We'll just have to wait and see.

If you're blind, we have some great news for you. Il Village, an Italian company developed a GPS satellite application that will help you get anywhere you want. I don't know how you are reading this article, but I hope someone is reading it to you.

The main idea is that you can have two dedicated keys on your mobile, one for telling you your exact location and one for calling a 24/7 emergency call center that will localize you and give you instructions. You will hear everything with the help of a Bluetooth headset. The Italians that tested this device were very pleased with the results and said that this device made their life easier. I don't want to be mean, buut, if you're a blind person, why would you want to go wandering around all day, because there's nothing to see.

Well, the world is getting weirder every day. Here are some strange devices, that I would've never thought of. The first one is the Lederhosen, which are some sort of phone-pants, that have keys on the side of the leg and a microphone in the suspender straps that allows you to talk, while doing your job, like drinking beer for example.

And the second one is the perCushion, a hi-tech pillow with integrated Bluetooth receiver and all the technology you need for conducting a call: buttons, LEDs, microphone and speakerphone. This is kinda weird..I mean, imagine, taking your girl friend home, getting into bed and then accidentally calling your mom at 1 am. Not cool!
