the copper can be recycled, that's nice. I'm not a fan of the dry earth patterns, please stay with the core business and no tacky references.
Still a nice phone though.

This reminds me of Sekio's thermo watch, it was created with the same thought in mind, no battery replacement, and effieicnt.

P.s Love the design, when can i get one!

Wow that is the cutest and stylish phone that i ever seen. Why in this world it is not available in the cellphone stores? Anyway, this is a great post. I also must say that your layout is awesome. Keep up the good posts.

If you were to give us statistical data, such as:
Does the temperature of the heat source determine rate of charge?
Does the phone fully charge within a few hours with the heat provided by a pocket?
Does the symbolism within the phone (i.e. cracked earth, angular style) really matter, or is it a secondary goal?
Will it easily break under pressure or malfunction?
Can you incorporate practical usage such as waterproofing or solar power into the already existing design?
Is heat always readily available to charge the phone?
Will the battery drain quickly?
Can you bring this phone to compete with existing companies such as android or apple?

Are you willing to lose what you have created to a greedy businessman???

All of these questions are viable excuses for a company to refuse to manufacture your design, even Nokia, who you started off with, could deny the concept. If you can manage to find a proper solution to these questions, there is no doubt in my mind that this phone will be a best-seller.

This is an excellent Idea, although I doubt it will be able to fully charge in a practical amount of time, wouldn't it be much more practical if there was a secondary input plug for charging with a wall charger?

This is a step, not a solution, as many other comments have said. Focus on being able to present the idea, and hundreds of other manufacturers and designers will improve on it far more than you can on your own. This would be the Ideal solution for the benefit of the community, rather than personal gain.
