NEC has designed a phone that in itself is the fuel cell. A hollow “flask†will hold the fuel, and what looks to be a valve at the bottom of the phone will be used to re-fuel your fuel cell powered phone.
Set to come out in 2008, the phone will feature a very cool touch screen that will be visible on the front of the clear colored flask. However, NEC is leaving us hanging when it comes to specs, price and network availability, and pretty much every aspect besides these tantalizing pictures to let our imaginations run wild.
