Wear your phone as a braceletPhones could be morphed into different shapes, folded into a pocket or twisted round your wrist thanks to hi-tech flexible materials.
Nokia have released images of their Morph concept phone which demonstrates what nanotechnology is set to deliver over the next few years.
Based on the principle behind spider silk, Nokia claim its nanotechnology could mean phones have transparent electronics, solar charging and self-cleaning plastics.
Joe Svetlik, news editor of T3 magazine, says the concept will excite the mobile phone industry but he remains unconvinced shoppers will see this sort of technology in shops any time soon.

"Looking at the images, it looks very much like this is just a concept," Mr Svetlik told Sky News Online.
"I'm not sure how realistic it is but this is is something new that no one else seems to be doing, so that makes it an exciting development."
The Swedish firm predict parts of this technology will be incorporated into handsets by 2015.
The concept designs were developed with the Cambridge Nanoscience Centre and are currently on display at the Museum Of Modern Art in New York.
