It's made—er, re-made—of recycled aluminum cans, old plastic bottles, and rubber from car tires. Mad Max would love it.
According to PhoneMag.com, the slim flip phone has a metal shell and keypad made of recycled aluminum cans, while the chassis consists of plastic recovered from discarded soda bottles. The rubber parts of the phone come from old car tires, while the power-conserving LCD (which wasn't working in the demo) and even the internal circuitry are made from recycled products.

Pretty cool—but again, we're just talking a concept phone for now. What do you think?

I think it's very cool 'cause it may not be so elegant compare to other topnotch cell unit but obviously! it's techy and awesome, it points out to something different in other ways, although it's not so funky to wear everyday, but in totality it's a two thumbs up! i can't wait to test that one and become part of my collection!!!!!!!

I would like to see Nokia take care of their current lines of outdated phones, and mobile software, etc. instead of introducing another model (probably as we type, obsolete). There is hundreds of Nokia phone models and thousands of perfectly good cell phones not in use due to obsolete software, hardware, etc. which could very likely be restored/renovated?/rebooted? to be useful again. Instead of this obvious publicity model (you noticed, I'm sure that it was not operable),Nokia could, and should, if not focus on the old and obsolete, how about models like my own, the 6275i, which, I don't want to make you laugh already, but I paid way too much for, Nokia hasn't even updated as promised (or scheduled?). I have given up keeping a list of the sites I have tried, for downloading applications, games, even the simplest things like ringtones and images. I can't even download Yahoo Go to my Nokia 6275i (what is the problem?). It keeps telling me "soon". Even my phone must be tired of that one. I requested from the retail chain I bought the phone from, a model with a good camera and all the applications that should go along with that. I also requested browsing, downloading capabilities, and gaming choices. The choices on all of the above have been sad and frustatingly limited. I'm telling Nokia "Update the current models out on the market and in use, and you would have a much wider effect on reducing cell phone waste." "Just imagine all the cell phones that would not be on their way to the recycling heap." ...irishnphx

Nokia is just No 1 of the cellphones... And it's great that they are relising new model based on old materials and aluminum cans. We need to take care of the enviroment because She will take care of us!

I would consider it along side other phones as long as I didn't have to pay a premium because of the potential extra costs of using recycled parts.
