Nokia UNIK Concept Revealed [UNIK Lego-Like Cell Phone Concept Revealed]

Nokia has revealed a new concept cell phone, the UNIK. The phone part of UNIK will be a slim and slender touchscreen design, however the real feature here is the backside, which will feature a LEGO-like board where customers will be able to create designs of their own choosing on the backside with little bricks.

The UNIK will be highly marketed as a fashion accessory, and users will buy the phone, then buy different packages of these blocks from Nokia shops, allowing them to further customize their phones. The unit when you purchase it will also come with some default starter blocks, and Nokia hints that partners (like Nike, Sonia Rykiel and Mini) will put out their own licensed specialty designs.

The blocks will be made from various materials, including plastic, metal and even rubber. No idea on the actual phone, but blog Gizmodo seems to think that it will be a lower-end phone to help Nokia fill that niche. No pricing, availability or launch date information has been released yet. This is just a concept yet, so don’t hold your breath – it might never come out.
