I kinda thought this was a joke. It is not. This phone will be popular like the Razr was for its novelty. A panty dropper for sure!

(I, however, predict its GPS will not work and it will get terrible reception...)

[zanzabar]

can i drop it and it wont die?

[SKYMTL]

They better patent this ASAP.

Edit: 99% sure this is a hoax. Smart projector in a flexible phone? Come on...

Concept only: http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/07/2...galaxy-heaven/

they have had this flexible display technology since the mid 90's, glad to see it is becoming commercially viable.

Yeah tech it self is very much real they had a demo of flexible display -> CES 2011.

Seems like Samsung is putting out alot of cool stuff unlike Crapple

So wait.. is this a design concept or a legit product? Appears to me to be a design concept that will influence future phones.

Very neat video of such a display. Didn't realize this tech was around already.

IT'S A CONCEPT. NOTHING MORE AT THIS TIME. This article was out over 2 weeks ago, and it's just a concept of future design.

lol..

[LexDiamonds]

A panty dropper for sure!

lol

[V2-V3]

Concept for sure, few more years before all of us will have those in our pockets.

[Power5]

Its still a concept till its produced. But its a working concept. Well the screen and battery is. I would say 2012 is a possible release time. Just need a video showing it accessing the internet or making a phone call. As of right now, its just playing a video on all the bendy screen videos I have watched.

[Sgt.McRuff]

Well I been thinking, isn't it a little too thin to hold when using it like a phone? Stack some paper, cut it out in phone shape and try.
