Nokia Cell Phone Made of Sustainably Harvested Wood

October 10, 2008 · Print This Article

If there’s one thing I hate about modern gadgets, it’s all the plastic.  I’ve long looked back at wooden electronics wishing you could still find up-to-date versions of the sophisticated designs.  Plus, there’s the fact that so many plastic gadgets contain toxic materials, and all that plastic ends up getting thrown away.  Well, Nokia might just give me the cell phone of my dreams, if this new prototype made of sustainable timber ends up going into production mode.

From Cell Phone Beat:

Mobile phones with metallic bodies, which in the designer mode are even seen studded with diamonds and crystals, will have an environment-friendly competitor, if the eco-friendly wooden Nokia concept is realized sometime in the distant future. The natural soulful look of the phone, fitted with advanced technical features, will make it the most sought after device by environmentally-conscious, cell phone users, looking for a phone that does not contaminate the environment with its toxic elements.

The eco-friendly wooden Nokia concept phone features an 8-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, speaker and Symbian S60 Operating System.  The perfect combination of old-school looks and modern functionality.  Sweet!  I wonder if I could bribe Nokia to send me a prototype even if this design doesn’t go on the market…
