We love patents, especially those that reveal everything about a concept device that might or might not make it to store shelves anytime soon.

Nevertheless, here we have a Sony Ericsson patent for a twisting cam phone. Yup, it does remind us of an old Nokia music phone (the 5700 XM was it?) but this one twists to showcase its photography skills than anything else.

According to the patent, such an arrangement might come handy to incorporate cameras with wider lenses, higher megapixels or even higher zoom (manual zoom?).

Hmm, not bad for a Sony Ericsson but will we ever see it coming?
