Don't you think most of the phones launched by the mobile handset manufacturers become duller with each day? If you do, then you must know that not every company that makes mobile phones these days is focusing on the usability side of the device but, instead, they work hard to develop a phone that will be at the end more pleasing to the eye and that will give back to the phone user the joy of living in a world where one can play even with serious things as cell phones.

One such company is Hulger that has released a wooden phone for all of us to enjoy, a phone made out of African Ziricote hardwood that will most likely make your future acquisition virtually indestructible. This means immune to the usual accidents that happen from time to time to everyone's handset not to a fire, a 15 m dive from your home's window or to the falling of a 2 tone rock on top of the device.

Those kind of things are not what an usual sane individual would expect its mobile phone to go through, so if you do want to have a Superman-like handset, then this is not the one to buy. The Hulger Wooden phone is meant to be beautiful and eye pleasing and not to be a laser or bomb resisting toy and if you are ready to get it for your personal use or to give it as a present to your loved ones for Christmas, then prepare your bank account in advance because you will have to pay a whopping price of 3885 $.

Don't be so shocked because you will not pay those kind of money only for a piece of wood that will let you connect to the wireless communication networks covering all the earth as a giant web (oh my, how beautifully said :) ). You will also get your hands on a box of wax so you will be able to keep your Ziricote phone shinier than the boots a kid prepares for Santa on the Christmas Eve.

Now, are you going to let a huge rock fall on your newly acquired very pricey wooden phone? Or to let some kind of a bomb to explode near it to test its fire resistance? No? I thought so, too.
