MWC 2008: Nokia Remade concept phone made "from nothing new"

After attempting a part-recycled design with the Evolve, the Finnish communications giant set itself a challenge to keep in Greenpeace's good books make a phone constructed entirely of "nothing new".

Presumably this applies to the case more than the innards, but said case is made from aluminium cans, car tyres and old plastic bottles; the phone also features backlighting with reduced power consumption, thus improving the battery life substantially. Unfortunately it doesn't actually work and is unlikely to hit the shops soon, but if it inspires any company to get moving and turn prototypes into a greener reality, then it's all good. There's even a product video showing you the phone up close.
