nokeea.jpgI wanted to write up this phone while at CES because it was simply the most practical-looking phone there, felt good in the hand, and looked sweet. It wasn’t sensational enough at the time, but now we know that Nokia is doing it green-style.

They claim to be using “innovative bio-materials,” which sounds a little shady, but their charger is super-efficient and they’re trying to use recyclable or post-consumer materials for their accessories and packaging. If you’re environmentally conscious, this is probably your best choice. Incidentally, I like these little socks they have for sale. Couldn’t you just use a regular sock, though?
