It's been dreamed up by English designer Patrick Hyland, who envisions the phone to be made from copper and capable of drawing heat from your body (or something like an overheating laptop), converting it to energy. That's by way of a thermogenerator that's been placed in the copper E-Cu phone ("E" for environment, and "Cu" for copper, naturally).
I'm not so sure the increasing prices (and demand) for copper will ever make this phone a reality, but in the meantime it's nice to see someone use the Nokia name for good. Unlike, err, Nokia.
If it can make calls and send sms i would totally buy it
ReplyDeleteLooks kinda cool
ReplyDeletewell this will be really nice... imagine.. you won't have to charge your phone again!
ReplyDeleteThis might just be the thing nokia needs.
ReplyDeletecool post bro!!:)
ReplyDeletecopper is pretty expensive, but then again, all the circuits i a phone are.
ReplyDeleteIt might be a viable solution.
It looks awesome though! Nokia E52 times 9000!
this phone is for womans :))
ReplyDeletelook better black
It'll save the couple of grams of CO2 you'd make by charging your phone with mains power!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really cool phone!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great concept
ReplyDeletelooks expensiv
ReplyDeletevery slim
ReplyDeleteThat's definitely and interesting concept for a phone.
ReplyDeleteI'm too hooked on smart phones.
ReplyDeleteCopper is still way cheaper then lithium ion batteries
ReplyDeletePretty neat.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great idea, but I'd like to see it implemented with something besides copper...too expensive!
ReplyDeleteAnything that isn't Apple is a brand name I can be proud of :P
ReplyDeletewow, that is pretty innovative.
ReplyDeletewow that's awesome; hope we see it sometime soon
ReplyDeletegoing to be years away until anything like this hits the mainstream, if it ever does... but hey, its still a great idea
ReplyDeletegood phone follow me to my blog
ReplyDeletethat phone looks cool.
ReplyDeleteHow thin is that?
ReplyDeleteReally cool..i hate when my phone dies when im out
ReplyDeletethats really cool.
ReplyDeletethat's a crazy idea... I wonder if all our electronic devices will have this ability in the near future.
ReplyDeleteread about this on gizmodo, seems interesting.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, this is really cool :)
ReplyDeleteAs long as is can make calls and play Tetris, I would be happy.
ReplyDeletecharge with termo? wow its insane
ReplyDeletei totally want it
ReplyDeletehehe
ReplyDeleteThat is actually pretty smart XD
ReplyDeleteBut you brought up the main point of cost efficiency.. as copper prices rise, so will the cost of phones like these
That's pretty sick
ReplyDeleteThat sounds handy :O
ReplyDeleteI love nokias, Nokias done soooo much more for mobile phones than any other company... thats right, better than the CRAPple Iphone. lol
ReplyDeletemine would exploed if i put it in my pockets.. too much heat...
ReplyDeleteActually a pretty unique plan. Sadly not all good plans come to light... hopefully this one will though.

Oh my god, even if this doesn't take off as a commercial product we're figuring out ways to eliminate the problem of battery life altogether! Once that bottleneck is removed, handheld devices can become the incredible tools we've been imagining since Star Trek.
ReplyDeletewow. super cool.
ReplyDeleteAmazing!
ReplyDeletecool idea and design, although I doubt it'll charge it much, thermogenerators are pretty inefficient even at their theoretical maximum
ReplyDeletethat's super cool but if it's as thin as in the pic I'd be afraid of breaking it.
ReplyDeletethats crazy!
ReplyDeleteIt looks cool.
ReplyDeletebrilliant. need more ingenuity like this
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is neat. I kinda foresee the copper oxidizing, making your sweet phone go green.
ReplyDeletecool beans
ReplyDeletewhen I'm home i never have my phone in my pocket though its always on my desk
