The wooden cell phone has an 8-megapixel camera, speaker and Bluetooth. It could one-up diamond and crystal studded luxury mobiles since the wooden phone actually promotes green causes.  Environmentally-conscious consumers will definitely rave about this phone, however, for now it is just a concept.
