cell chop

does this look like the future of electronics? i think so. this cell phone by mehmet erkök is just a stripped-down nokia, modified with a few choice elements to make it his own. at the same time as the phone becomes a unique craft object rather than a cheap commodity, it gains interestingness(TM), hackability, customization, personality, and hints of a future where taking apart and putting together electronics is how we use them.
