Sadly just a design study and not something which will be announced this year at any major consumer electronic events, this Nokia E97 Envelop is the work of 23 year-old Paris student, Fabien Nauroy. The concept has a full keyboard in “AZERTY” layout, with a small LCD screen above the keyboard. But the best part is the pull-out LED screen that can work as a storage device, and make file and picture sharing somewhat retro, and also futuristic.
That panel can be left protruding but still attached – for use with the keyboard – or removed completely and passed around as a photo, video or internet viewer. It would also have its own internal storage and a desktop stand, meaning it could be used as a digital photo frame.
The Envelop E97 Concept Phone for Nokia is an extremely innovative take at the dual-orientation mobile phone, with its super sleek lines and its tear-off LCD screen. The 80′s consol pixeled-like blue screen gives a final geeki/retro touch to the whole device.
Nauroy certainly got the Nokia design language down to a fine art; the Finns could do worse than looking to Paris for their next inspiration.

I like the concept of sharing data with the screen. But the title “iPhone Killer” … come on !
@ Kerolic: I could not resist… But I can change it into “iPhone blaster” if you prefer, lol
Well, I changed the title a little bit by adding suspension points…
