iPhone and Nokia the Most Recycled Mobile Phones in the U.K.

By Kurt Black posted August 19, 2010, 10:31 am | 0

Out of the ten mobile phone models most frequently sold back to recycling companies, the Telegraph reports that the two manufacturers (Apple iPhone and Nokia) landed in nine of the spots, including favourites such as the iPhone 3G 16 GB, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and the Nokia 6300 were among them, with the tenth favourite being the only exception, the Samsung S5230 Tocco Lite.

The study’s results also coincide with both brands’ popularity; Apple’s iPhone series and Nokia’s slide models have been some of the biggest sellers in Britain in recent years. Experts say Nokia mobile phone models and iPhones are most likely being recycled because of, not in spite of, their sleek designs, since customers who value style are often the ones who upgrade their phones more frequently. This year alone, more than a million people in the U.K. are expected to buy a new phone, research suggests.

Nokia Concept Phone Runs On… Coke?!

By Ryan Deal posted April 2, 2010, 12:06 pm | 4

Most mobile phones run on a battery, scratch that, all phones run on battery. At least any of the phones I’ve ever seen do. Well, that is until now. Chinese designer Daizi Zheng has created a concept cell phone for Nokia that runs on the world’s favorite cola.

The idea is that the phone could run on an “alternative” battery that uses enzymes to break down the carbohydrates in the cola to generate electricity.

The only downside I can see is all the extra soda you’ll be drinking simply because you’ve got so much on hand to power your mobile devices. Other than that, I would say this concept is a win.
