Here’s something you don’t see every day – a mobile phone modelled on a classic cigarette lighter! The Pantech DuPont phone shares the same design as the classic lighter from S.T. DuPont. For those of you oblivious to DuPont’s lighter, it’s the old metal one with the big chunky flip top.

Pantech’s new phone emulates this part of the DuPont lighter with its own flip top, which, disappointingly, doesn’t reveal a flame, but instead reveals the lens of a 3 megapixel camera. It does at least make the same “cling sound” as the DuPont lighter, although whether this is real or an electronic sample, we’re not sure.

LG released the Cookie as a budget touchscreen phone a few months ago. However, although extremely usable and actually rather good for a low-end phone, its low budget price meant it was short of features. Presumably thinking the same thing, LG has decided to beef it up a bit, and have come up with this: the LG Cooky, which is, to all intents and purposes, a Cookie on steroids!

Samsung have been showing off their new Samsung Style Report phone at this year’s Korea Electronics Show (KES 2008). The oddly-named Style Report is a dual screen phone with a difference. Rather than having a full-sized internal screen and a smaller external one, the Style Report has two equally sized screens.

Samsung have done this as they’ve recognized that some of a phone’s features work better on an external screen, while others are more suitable for the internal screen, but that both screens should be of equal size to get the most out of these features.
