NTT DoCoMo unmasks Touch Wood handsets
Cogitating environmental sustainability and users’ aggrandized demand for advanced mobile phones altogether, DoCoMo has recently proclaimed that it has developed mobile phone prototype made with the surplus wood of trees culled during thinning operations. This so-much distinctive designing is expected to contribute towards keeping forests healthy while maintaining younger generation’s increased demand for stylish handsets.
The prototype was established in partnership with Sharp Corporation, Olympus Corporation and a reforestation project called ‘more trees,’ funded by musician Ryuichi Sakamoto and others. The authentic cypress wood body of the prototype named as Touch Wood ensures optimum durability and renitence against insects and even water. Designed with three-dimensional compression molding, the handsets come with unique and enticing grain patterns and natural coloring.
The Touch Wood handsets shine brilliantly and deliver phenomenally high-performance concurrently. The devices’ graphical user interface is based on the photographic art of Mikiya Takimoto, a more trees advocate.
Featuring ergonomic layout, the Touch Wood prototype is based on existent SH-04A model. It is expected that exemplary Touch Wood phone will be displayed at ITU Telecom World 2009 In Geneva, Switzerland from October 5 to 9 and Ceatec Japan 2009 at Makuhari Messe, Chiba Prefecture, Japan from October 6 to 10.
