Nokia Eco Cell Phone Powered by Solar Weather Station and Health Monitoring Bracelet

Keen to display its forward thinking, green credentials (having been
usurped by the likes of Sony Ericsson in Greenpeace's latest
environmental poll) this concept cell phone from Nokia is not only made
from environmentally friendly materials such as plant based plastics but
it also comes with a solar panel bracelet that, apart from providing the
required juice will offer up to the minute weather forecasts whilst
monitoring your vitals.

Known s the Eco Sensor Project, this Nokia concept cell phone may well
never actually make it into production but, what cannot be denied is
that it offers a tantalising glimpse as to where the future of cell
phones is headed in a world ever more obsessed with environmental issues
(and, of course, a little inspiration from the associated and rapidly
growing eco-consumer market).

Appearing to be a touchscreen device on account of the noticeable lack
of keypad, the handset itself is made from plat based plastics and
recycled steel whilst its wearable charging station, which takes the
form of a watch inspired bracelet (we assume it also tells the time)
will not only harness the Sun's rays to power the phone but will also
display up to the minute weather information (from an unnamed source)
and monitor your vital signs (such as your present pulse) - no doubt
leading to you informing a stranger who asks if you have the time that
its around 60-100 bpm.

Will Nokia's Eco Sensor Cell Phone see it into production? Who knows,
but at least Nokia will be seen in the meantime as making all the right
noises in an age where environmental unfriendliness is the sort of
negative PR that can seriously impact on turnover.
