Nokia and the University of Cambridge are sharing their vision for the cell phone of the future by showing off a new stretchable and flexible device called “Morph.” The new concept phone, which is made using nanotechnology, boasts the ability to bend into almost any shape a user could think of.

Nokia says the concept device demonstrates handset features that nanotechnology might be capable of delivering, including flexible materials, transparent electronics, and self-cleaning surfaces. Of course, the actual technology required to put this together is still years away, though Nokia believes that certain elements of the device could be used in high-end Nokia devices within the next seven years. Check out a video of the concept device after the break.
