Sony Ericsson has just recently filed a patent for a new phone design. This employs a clamshell phone and a detachable display on it. Yep, you read correct - detachable!

The idea is to have a phone, where you can have the display whichever way you’d like it - that way you can actually have the large (internal) display on the outside of the phone. This could make it a lot easier to watch videos on your phone - especially if dedicated multimedia keys were employed on the sides.

The other concept to be found in the patent is a lot more innovative. This one makes you capable of actually removing the display from the rest of the phone, and thereby only carry around a display. However, this would not just be any display to carry around, because then there wouldn’t be any fun in doing so (if it didn’t work, that is). I’m thinking that the display could also double as a music player or alike. To be honest, I believe I have seen what could be one of these (upcoming) phones - very much like W350 with round music keys on the front, but also a nice colour display on the front. Looked exactly like a music player, and was also a clamshell phone.

It seems this concept could be used in lots of different ways - all we have to do is wait.
