This article was based on the Nokia corp's latest mobile concept which is called as Nokia Kinetic. Jeremy Innes-Hopkins is the creative designer for this Nokia Kinetic concept.

If the user is not interested in picking up the call, he can just give a gentle tap to the cell phone which will make the gadget to fall down. The device will them resume its standby mode.

But as of now there's no confirmations regarding the Nokia Kinetic concept design to become true. But this concept looked pretty cool for me. So i wished to share it with all of u. Doesn't this concept look cool?
