Latest Nokia patent suggests we may see a four-way folding Communicator
IntoMobile - Cell Phone News, Information, and Analysis —
... four-way folding mechanism, as you can see from the image above. Scrap that, the patent says there are “at least four device parts,” hinting us we could see a true transformer handset at some point in the future.
Is this an idea for the next Nokia Communicator or what? We’re not sure and we may never know. Still, there’s a hope Nokia can pull something out of it and, like Apple (NSDQ: AAPL), “re-invent the phone.”

Nokia's 4-way Xmas patent
Core77 —
... on Christmas Day for a new type of communication device, one with a rather unusual form factor: It folds out into four distinct parts. Two of the parts act as a screen, apparently straddled by some type of flexible screen, while the other two serve as a keyboard.
There's no word on when this device would come out or what, specifically, it would do, but it will be interesting to see if Nokia can seize the design high ground and spawn its own wake of copycats.

Nokia patent application shows strange Communicator design
Coolest Gadgets —
... Well, good thing the Finnish telecommunications company is going the extra mile to come up with a potentially groundbreaking design in the future, if what we see above in a recent patent application goes through to the manufacturing process. This completely weird four-way folding Communicator is full of hinges, keys and pixels that consists of “at least four device parts,” making us wonder what those parts are exactly. What do you think Nokia is up to?
