According to an article on InformationWeek, Nokia has teamed up with University of Cambridge to create an incredible concept for a phone, called Morph. This truly shows the ideas behind the great minds at Nokia where they need to be headed.

The idea behind Morph, is that is uses a form of flexible materials along with nanotechnologies to create an elasticity type product. It will be transparent and have self cleaning surfaces. As you can see by the images after the jump this little puppy can be folded almost anyway. I like it best laying flat like a LCD screen.

"Nokia Research Center is looking at ways to reinvent the form and function of mobile devices; the Morph concept shows what might be possible," said Bob Iannucci, Nokia's CTO, in a statement.

Nokia said what they have taken away from this concept is that some of the features maybe able to be a part of high end mobile products and also the use of nanotechnology could lower costs of device within, and yes this disappointed me, 7 years. Who has seven years to wait for this thing, I was thinking it should come out Q4. Do you think Nokia is on the right track?

If you want to check out this god of a phone, the concept is featured at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City from February 24 to May 12, as part of the "Design and the Elastic Mind" exhibition.

Check out Images after the jump.
