Yes, this is the phone...in it's cradle.

And speaking of cell phones...isn't this a beauty! Of course, it's just a concept, but we couldn't help but share. This little phone, about the size of a credit card, was created to be an Eco-Phone. Made out of bamboo, lower power E-Ink display, etc.

The concept further pleases the EcoGeek by providing a rewards system for green activities. Designer Nicola Reed says that a phone such as this could be able to analyze the user's day to day impacts on the environment. Based on that analysis, green users are rewarded with free minutes and other bonuses.

We don't know that Verizon would buy intosuch a scheme, but Nicola gets props for the idea nonetheless.
