This week is the ITU Telecom World 2006 Asiaworld-Expo in Hong Kong. Several Japanese companies have descended on the event and have been showing off some pretty fancy prototypes.

NEC has a ‘back-to-front clamshell’ on display. Named the ‘Latticekey Interface’, when closed the handset’s keyboard and main display both face outwards.

NEC is also showing off a small handset with no keyboard – only a touch screen.

Not to be done by NEC, Mitsubishi has been letting visitors try a phone which is equipped with two touch screens.
