Wooden Nokia concept phone goes beyond the drawing board, gets built

Oh sure, LG has teased us with a faux wood cellphone, and Hulger has actually produced one that four people in existence can afford, but this... this is something else. According to the captions in textlad's Flickr pool, Nokia's own eco-team designed and created the object of desire that you see above: an 8-megapixel "handset" that appears to function just fine. We can already tell you this thing isn't coming to market, but we would absolutely love to be proven wrong.

So now we are going to destroy trees to do phones? Are people crazy? What about preserve nature? Ridiculous

it looks fake... like the os was printed out and there are staples on the right side of the screen.... and on the left side the print out isnt cut out straight...

Oh god I hope you guys are proven wrong because I love unique looking cell phones. If only that stick avant garde phone phone from Nokia had as much features as today's phones I would get it. And that goes the same for this little (seemingly) wooden device here.
