6230i in a wooden case, nothing more.

Kind of an older announcement.. but, its interesting: Nokia experimented with textile covers and so on, and those phones really didnt do much for the market. On the other hand, an organic covering dosnt excite much either. I wonder if its preassure treated wood - which may be kind of dangerous.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Is the intention to look like cut-off wood?

I find it quite repulsive.
