Is Nokia actually considering manufacturing a phone made out of trash? Is this their response to Samsung getting ready to launch their first handset made of corn?

When I read trash I think recycled materials which sounds like a good idea. After all why not try to re use materials which were previously a part of a defunct cell phone? Just put them back in the melting machine and let the robots recreate cases and keypads from old materials. This would effectively take care of some of those old phones transformed into polluting waste. Why stop there? Why not recycle other materials which have nothing to do with cell phones but become waste and potentially toxic?

The new phone made from trash is apparently code named Remade. Wow this is such an original name. People must have missed good sleep hours to come up with it. The Remade will be made from recycled materials. The keypad and gaskets are supposed to come out of tires and plastic components and the shell will be composed of recycled metal from cans.

How smart will the Remade be? Just so I can figure out if I’d get one.

What kind of a stupid question is that? Technology is here meant to help us right? Make our life easier! But is it really?

Here at MobileWhack we’re delivering mobile news daily. We show you what the near future will look like, as every newer and better devices get released.

What we don’t see are the downsides of all this technological improvement. Whenever we are buying new toys we end up throwing away the old ones which have to pile up somewhere. And we end up throwing away lots of lead, mercury and lithium, which are common components one would find inside TVs, laptops, desktops and of course cell-phones. And all that lead, mercury and lithium is good for you while it’s situated inside those devices. Once they get released outside they will have only have negative side effects. And once inside your body they will have an irreparable effect on your nervous system and other organs.
