Browsing through the web... didn't know if it had been posted here.. sorry if it has been!!

Yet another proof that we the people of the People's Republic of China can produce literally anything. Pay 180,000 Chinese yuan (US$ 22,500) and you can grab the world's first ivory mobile phone.

The body of the phone was made of African elephant ivory, mammoth ivory and camel bone, the Guangzhou Daily reported. The ivory artist said that two of the six ivory mobile phones had been sold.

A Taiwanese netizen (via GVO) jumped on Nokia (apparently it's a Nokia 8800) - but wait - how can one be so sure that Nokia has authorised the "ivory edition"? Has ivory trade ban not been lifted (or at least partially)?

Hi all,

Well PK what else would we expect from an SE die hard besides being untrue and a massive generalisation. It's like me saying all SE's look nice but have dodgy software, hang on oh no that s right bad example then really LOL.

Back on topic this is just wrong the only place Ivory looks good and should be seen is on a Elephant IMHO.
