Metal phone

Metal Phone is project by Schulze & Webb developped for Chris Heathcote of Nokia, to explore personalisation in mobile phones. A bit too esoteric for my brain waves, but as a general rule, I love cell phone concepts, so here you go. [via mobile|blog.it]

Introduction:

"Metal Phone is a mobile phone within limits. You’ll need strong pockets. The metal reduces the effectiveness of the aerial so you’ll need to be closer to the transmitter. If you leave your mobile on the dashboard of your car on a hot day, you’ll come back to find the components in a pool of liquid metal. It’s not advisable to hold the phone in your hands for too long—cadmium is present in a low concentration."
