If there’s something I got used to very fast since the first day I wrote an article about technological inventions of all sorts, then that certain something refers to my expectations as far as the results the human mind is able to come up with. The reason for such a thing to happen is that I’m always blown away with the apparitions that make the world evolve, being the proof of the fact that people are inexhaustible sources of imagination.



A relevant example is the mobile phones realm, which is more dynamic than any other domain and more prolific, of course. Now, you can do almost everything that you like and that can be done with a cell phone, from making a call, the most rudimentary function of such devices, to surfing the web, finding restaurants or museums that you want to visit when you’re traveling around the globe, or to watching movies and listening to your favorite music.

A very interesting aspect of cell phones nowadays is the shape that they are presented with by their ingenious creators. Take the Ragio concept phone for example which was designed, according to Chino Ragragio, the inventor, “out of pure fancy and whim”. This stunning circular concept phone is the result of a special challenge, as there is no circular phone that he has heard of before.



Chino Ragragio, a Quezon City-based designer, Philippines, graduated with a degree in Information Design and he is currently employed at Sony Philippines, where he is a graphic artist. Taking very personal the lack of such a concept phone, Ragragio felt it his duty to come up with this circular device. I’m not sure how well you can tell it from the picture, but the top panel is designed to rotate 180 degrees.

More than that, the handset comes with music and video capabilities, for those who are crazy about the multimedia features-rich cell phones. The keys are large enough for anyone to see them, even if you might suffer from eyesight problems.

I don’t know if you’re impressed with this circular concept phone, but I’m sure you’d be delighted to see how it works if it would someday hit the mass production.
