Mobile Phones – The Future’s Stretchy

admin — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 21:10:55 +0000

Mobile phone manufacturer Nokia has claimed that mobile phones of the future will not necessarily be as rigid as they are today.

The company have been displaying their prototype idea at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York as part of an exhibition entitled Design and the Elastic Mind. The prototype is intended to show people how mobile phones will be more flexible in the future, allowing their user to mould the device to any shape that they desire.

However, this idea is still in the very early stages of development and could still be around seven years away. Even then, it will still only be used in high-end models of mobile phones, therefore meaning that cheap mobile phone deals on theses flexible phones will be a long time coming. However, if this bendable phone idea becomes a popular one, then hopefully cheaper deals will eventually begin to appear as the demand will increase.

People at Nokia say they are always trying to come up with new ways of re-inventing the mobile phone form.

The flexible concept is based on nanotechnology; this is a branch of science that looks at controlling matter on an atomic and molecular basis. Nanotechnology is also behind such designs as self-cleaning surfaces.

For this project, Nokia are working on it with the University of Cambridge. The University say that working alongside Nokia on this new mobile phone concept will help them inspirationally but more importantly with their combined nanoscience research, which will hopefully fuel future work for them as a team.

Why Recycle Mobile Phones?

The UK’s 50 million users of mobile phones will – on average – replace their handset every 18 months, but environmental experts believe less than 20% of these phones are recycled.

Millions of mobiles phones are gathering dust in drawers and cupboards in people’s homes when they could be recycled – often in return for money or discounts off new phones – or reused in the Third World.

Mobile phones contain many materials that can be harmful to the environment and human health if not disposed of safely and responsibly. In the UK, it is illegal to throw out your old handset with the household waste.

Countless mobiles phones, however, still end up in landfill sites where there is a real risk they will leak toxic waste, polluting rivers and watercourses and contaminating agricultural land. Highly toxic dioxins can be also emitted into the atmosphere if phones are incinerated in waste plants.

The most hazardous part of a mobile phone is the battery. The cadmium contained inside the battery of just one discarded mobile phone can contaminate as much as 600,000 litres of water – that’s enough to fill a third of an Olympic-sized swimming pool.

Other materials utilised in the manufacture of mobile phones include lead, used to solder components to printed circuit boards, and beryllium, used in contacts and springs. Such noxious substances can cause cancer, liver disease and brain damage, and affect the human body’s immune and central nervous systems.

Cell phones also contain precious, semi-precious and base metals, including copper, mercury, manganese, nickel, silver and zinc. Even though only tiny amounts of these metals are present, the value and scarcity of such mineral resources makes it worthwhile – financially as well as ethically – to recycle mobile phones.

Around 80% of the components in a mobile phone can be recycled. First, phones are dismantled by hand into their individual components, such as the chips, camera lenses and memory drives. Some of these parts may be resold.

The remaining components are then ground up, and the useful metals are extracted from the scrap by various industrial processes. The metal contained in batteries can also be recovered, as can much of the plastic used in components.

Phones in good working order or which can be easily repaired are shipped to Africa and Asia where they prove invaluable to people living in developing countries with little or no landline telephone infrastructure.

Refurbished handsets are also an affordable alternative in regions where the cost of brand new mobile phones is prohibitive.

Any cell phone can be recycled or reused. You can dispose of yours by taking it back it the high street shop where you bought it from, often in return for a discount off a new handset.

There are also a growing number of companies on the Internet who will give you cash in exchange for your old phone (depending on its make and condition).

Alternatively, you can help save the planet, and support a good cause at the same time, by donating your handsets to charities that recycle mobile phones to raise funds. Whatever option you choose, always remember to remove the SIM card in order to protect your personal data.

Unlike many of the manufacturers, Nokia still offers a basic phone for those who are not interested in paying extra for things they don’t need and won’t use.

Anyone who has had experience with Nokia mobile phones can tell you that most of them are very simple to use even for someone who is buying his or her first mobile phone. The menus are easy to use and the phones are of reasonable quality. Some of the Nokia mobile phones do have some features that take time to undo such as turning on automatic editing for text messaging-this prevents the user from typing in a text message and can be quite frustrating until you learn how to turn it off.

One thing on which Nokia has improved is the ability of the mobile phones to go into vibrate mode. Some of the earlier Nokia mobile phones had no vibrate option, so if you didn’t want it to ring, the silent option was the only thing you could do. The problem there is you had no way of knowing if someone was trying to call, and if it was an urgent call, it could cause some problems. Nokia has now eliminated that inferior mode and even opened up more options such as Outdoor and Meeting settings in addition to vibrate, vibrate and ring, and ring only.

Nokia mobile phones are available from everyone mobile phone provider though the selection may vary. Some Nokia mobile phones are manufactured for specific providers, so you may not always find the exact model you want from your provider.

You can try buying an unlocked phone to get the exact one you want, but some of the features may not be available through your provider.

Nokia mobile phones come in a variety of models including flip phone, camera phone, music phone and basic phones that do little more than allow you to talk, receive voice messages, record conversations and send and receive text messages. Choosing the right Nokia phone to suit your lifestyle is an easy process with so many from which to choose. Before you purchase any of the Nokia mobile phones that are available in the UK it’s important for you to know the functionality of each and whether it will provide the features you want. The basic model, for example, doesn’t have a camera or picture messaging capabilities to allow you to receive pictures. Since different models have different features and capabilities, you need to make sure you know the functionality of the Nokia phone you choose before you leave the mobile phone store.
