I love concept handsets, as it shows that people are thinking about how we use communication devices rather than just continuing development along existing lines. This one comes by way of Uberphones, and is a concept phone based around embedding the handset into a bracelet.

Some of the sacrifices include taking out the display and removing the standard set of buttons, relying on controls placed at the inner side instead. Since there is no screen, it is safe to assume there is no way you can send or receive text messages with this handset. Ditch that iPod on your runs as the Bracelet Phone comes with an earphone jack and supports MP3 files.

There's an opportunity here for these to be made into high-fashion jewellery items.
