Man, I gotta admit this idea is really sick! Instead of having a touch screen on a cellphone (which is nothing new) on the display side, imagine one that features this on the input (keypad) side of the phone. This cellphone works like a normal one, incorporating a normal display but instead of the normal keypad, it features a touch screen; the touch keys can actually be felt depressed. It has three fixed keys that can always be accessed (the numeric keypad, and both the forward and backwards keys), no matter what touch keys subscreen you’re in. nTT DoCoMo and Mitsubishi’s ideas for collaborating on this cellphone is to simplify the modern & complicated keypad, which to them, has too many keys.

Also beautiful is the way that LEDs have been used under the material of the cell phone to indicate the time as well as missed calls. Since the phone already has two “internal” displays, putting in a third on the outer side would have been too much of a drain on the battery; this is a unique and smart solution.
Keep in mind, this is just a concept but keep your fingers crossed, as to if this future phone hits the manufacturing stage.
