If you thought that large and impractical “cellphones” were a thing of the past, then feast your eyes on the BPhone. It’s basically a 5-inch convertible device with a QWERTY keyboard, trackball, and maybe even Windows XP.
That’s really about all we know. We have no idea who the manufacturer is, what it costs, or what the release date is. We just know that it’s odd and that we prefer to call it a Netphone.

The Bolt projector phone by Logic Wireless was introduced last year at CES and now the company has released an updated version, powered by the Symbian operating system. It slimmed down a bit from the original and will throw a VGA image up to 64″ wide.
Aside from that, you’ll get two cameras: One in front and one in back and two sim card slots. No 3G here, which is unfortunate. A touchscreen display rounds off the features. Look for the updated Logic Bolt to retail for about $500 unlocked.
Hopefully we will see it at CES

According to Reuters, Google will have not one, but two versions of the Nexus One phone. One unlocked and one on a service contract with T-Mobile. The phone may be available directly from Google as soon as January 5th in fact.
This is the second confirmation of that date, so it is looking very likely. So if you want this bad boy you won’t have long to wait. Obviously we are hoping that the unlocked version is pretty cheap.
If they do go the carrier route it won’t be free, that’s for sure.

Nokia’s latest concept phone kicks things up a notch. The Nokia Unik was designed by French designer Clement Logereau and consists of 152 small tiles that allow the handset to transform itself. Well, you will have to transform it by adding new squares that are different in material and color.
The squares can be added after you purchase them from Nokia stores. Once they have your money, they come in metal, transparent and rubber. Yeah, it’s easy to see that this one will forever remain just a concept.
Though we do love that Space Invader.
