Nokia's newest concept phone is the Nokia 888.  It is a flexible phone, which means it can be shaped like a clip, a bracelet or rolled up and shoved in your pocket.  The idea is to use flexible battery and touch screen technology to create new ways of communicating called E-motions.  These E-motions are movements that can be sent to other Nokia 888s--as in, instead of sending a text message, you can cause your friend's phone to jump up and dance.

The phone will also use technology that will allow it to record your personal preferences and environments which it has visited in order to learn more about its user.  Could the Nokia 888 be the new Furby?  Sure, it isn't a furry piece of plastic with a beak, but creepy can come in many forms.
