These aren't past the drawing board yet...literally.
I'm going to post as much as I can. Not much information has been revealed about these yet, obviously, so...just look at the pictures and say "ooh" and "ahh" for now. There's 7 models altogether. Also, I cannot post pictures of these, as vodafone hasn't made any press releases yet. So I'll just link to the ones from Impress Watch.

"V0408-Digi.K-"

The "V0408-Digi.K-" is a cellular phone that can be used like a digital camera. The main display turns around, and can be used as a large screen viewer for the digital camera. The camera module is on a hinge, and it also has an optical zoom.

"V0809-Game-"

This phone is especially oriented towards gaming. Its external appearance resembles that of a game console's controller, and the body slides to reveal buttons.

"V0728-Flex-"

The "V0728-Flex-", in addition to being able to be used as a normal flip-phone, can theoretically be put horizontally for gaming and TV purposes.

"V1108-Wallet-"

The "V1108-Wallet-" uses leather for the body, and one can enjoy it for this purpose. Since the phones body color can be changed, it should make for some interesting collaboration with fashion brands.

"V0222-Apple-"

The "V0222-Apple-" has a unique makeup like design, whose round body slides to reveal keys. This design is supposedly so that women can easily put it in their bags and it will not be a nuisance.

"V0207-tRi-"

Finally, the "V0207-tRi-" has dual displays in a compact body. This is a flip phone that consists of three body sections joined by 2 hinges, and when opened, the main and sub displays are viewable. This can be used, for example, to access Vodafone Live! while viewing terrestrial digital TV broadcasts.
