Cellphones, like cigarette lighters and booze dispensers, are taking all kinds of shapes and sizes these days. For the die-hard foodies, here's something more satiable than usual. The Sandwich Phone looks as real as a sandwich shaped phone could look. However, this isn't into full scale retail. It is a part of a campaign that helps customize phones. Well, the guys should have worked on a wireless concept rather than the blue wired one that gives the phone's secret away.

Let's get to something not-so-out-of-date as yet for a change. The Moto ROKR E8 was quite a brilliant launch product. With the every covetable microSD slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a decent 2 GB of storage space, radio and a Linux platform. The E8 isn't just the E8 anymore. It has been adopted by the ever imposed father figure of T-Mobile and I am pretty sure that it will take wings soon and perch itself on our shelves.

Yeah you read that right. At last we have cellphone makers thinking of improving the power storage rather than upping the camera and memory. Come to think of it, it's the agony of a phone with low charge that hurts more than the ecstasy of owning one with 16 GB of memory. The new Philips Xenium 9@9j phone has more than the cool name. It uses a AAA battery. It comes equipped with BackuPower that can be used to keep your phone powered even when your Li-ion battery goes dead. This can give you a whole three hours of talk time as a bonus. This is for those who pick use of a phone over its style since this one sure isn't as small and slim as the newest variants of phones are.

At last we have a phone that dares to call itself ‘indestructible’. The Sonim XP1 is a perfectly well built phone that can handle a lot of strain and pressure and hurdles and just about every kind of abuse on could subject a phone to. The display image is brutal enough to leave us wondering what this phone’s made of. I wonder what the specs of this phone may be like since it doesn’t really have a lot of style as far as looks are concerned. But surely, it lives up to its name of being a tough baby.

Strap-Ya are a Japanese manufacturing unit that has come out with these cool solar charger devices. These are, as you guessed it, solar chargers that need over six minutes of sunlight to fall on it in order to get fully charged up. This is the cleanest source of energy and is free as well. This charge can later be used to charge your phone to work for an extra 25 minutes. The charger doesn't directly power up your phone but will charges a battery booster so that you can go on and on with your conversation. Make sure you purchase some sun-screen lotion with this one. If you aren't in a day light situation and are running out of charge then you can always hook this one up to an AC adapter. 3 hours is all that is needed to charge this one from the AC adapter.

There are those who like the typical QWERTY keypads and there are those who prefer the typical numeric keypad since they find T9 very interesting. However, Samsung have come out with a solution for both parties with the SCH-i760. It stuffs both these keypads into one very sleek (in spite of being thick) and smart design. It has a decent 2.8-inch display screen and 1.3 megapixel camera. One may wonder why the makers put just 54 MB of internal memory in a Windows Mobile 6 device.
