It's been a while since a cellphone has filled us with as much lust as this SLIQ design. It's a concept by Mike Serafin with no keypad and what he calls an "advanced touch interface." It better be pretty advanced, because we haven't been all that impressed with touch interfaces thus far.
Its illustrations have the Samsung logo either proudly or hopefully displayed, but we're not sure if this is a Samsung-authorized design or not. Besides its good looks, the concept has one particularly unusual feature we've never seen in a cellphone before.
Get this, the most unusual feature: it has a crank that powers it up, so maybe it doesn't even need batteries. Neat. check out these design sketches:
Also included in this possibly-vaporware concept is a 2-megapixel camera with a Schneider-Kreuznach lens that looks like it retracts into the phone's slightly bulging top section. Even with that camera goodness, the design calls for an ultra-thin profile of a mere 10mm. Its shiny toy-like form factor with its sexy disappearing LCD screen really gets us going. OK, back in our holes. – Charlie White

一款迷人的概念手机：SLIQ
SLIQ的设计让我们对手机充满了渴望。Mike Serafin将其无键盘理念称为“先进的触控界面”。它应该是很先进的，因为我们对于触控界面还没有什么印象。
它的图片上有三星的标志，但是我们并不清楚是否经过三星授权。除了它迷人的外表，它的理念也是我们在手机上不曾看到的。
最最特殊的功能：它有一个曲柄，是用来充电的，也许它根本就不需要电池。看看它的设计草图吧：
这个即将出品的手机还包括200万像素的摄像头，采用了著名的施耐德（Schneider-Kreuznach）镜头，看上去好像缩进了手机顶部。即便这个手机有这么多功能，它的超薄机身也仅为10mm。它像玩具似闪亮的外形，配上时隐时现的LCD屏幕，真正让我们着迷。
