Anastasiadis BlackBerry concept design is stunning

News - By: SPBlast! Staff - January 20, 2012

What you're looking at is not a real BlackBerry, but a concept designed by a BlackBerry fan. The concept was created by industrial designer John Anastasiadis and is his version of the dream BlackBerry. The specs as he sees them are as follows:

  • Wrap around screen. This allows you to incorporate soft-keys on the underside for gaming, navigation, etc.
  • The asymmetrical shape allows you to know the orientation of the phone (while holding) without having to look at it.
  • There is one hard button that serves multiple functions (screen lock, picture taking, etc.)
  • The phone has some artificial intelligence that can predict if you intended a command. For example, sometimes while using an iPhone it will slip out of my hand, causing me to grab for it any which way I can, thus hitting all sorts of buttons on the screen.
  • The front and back cameras are behind the screen. The screen will illuminate to act as the flash.

    Interestingly, John says the technology to make The Anastasiadis concept design already exists. So why haven't we seen something like this yet?!
