I wonder if we'll see the phone bit of a phone (the ability to have a voice conversation) disappearing - I suspect most people barely use their phone for voice these days. Maybe your telephone will separate into a different device like a watch or pen and we have a separate device for typing / browsing / messaging.
That would lend itself to devices which roll up (maybe into a pen) or are wrapped around your wrist as a wearable device.
Battery technology is improving so fast that they will last for days or weeks
[as an asside, I used to have a JCB rugged phone whose battery lasted 3-4 weeks. It was great - but I could never remember where I left the charger - and often had to buy a new one. Maybe a 4 week battery life isn't such a great idea!]
