Posted in Cell phones, Concept, Designer Gadgets, Mobile phone on 5 August 2008

After talking loads about all those so called materialistic phones loaded with metals and bling effect, it comes as a sigh of relief and a peep into innovation to see a mobile phone made of wood. Christened as Maple wooden phone, this one looks no better than just a piece of wood till it is touched. As you touch it turns into a fully functional cell phone at your rescue.
Made in African Blackwood, the Maple phone measures 4.5 x 10.4 x 9.8 cm and is loaded with all the features commonly found in general cell phones including MP3 player, digital camera, apart from the basic calling and texting services.
The display of the phone is located at the back which becomes visible you slide the phone. So, with this you know that the phone is a slider, thanks to the sensors which are sensitive to touches. The buttons are touch-sensitive that turn on when you touch and get ready for your inputs with the capacitive touch technology.
Still a concept designed by Hyun Jin Yoon and Eun Hak Lee, the phone is awaiting production. As far as the price is concerned, the phone will be cheaper than any other average cellphones, since it’s made of wood.
