Honestly you can say that about all tech toys, as well as Dungeons & Dragons and Babylon 5 chat rooms for that matter; but with the iPhone that much more so.
Scientists for the environmental watchdog group Greenpeace took apart the iPhone and found traces of toxic phthalates in the coating of the iPhones headphone cables; chemicals that are apparently the anti-CENSORED.
According to David Santillo, senior scientist at the Greenpeace Research Laboratories, two of the phthalate plasticisers are classed in Europe as ?toxic to reproduction, Category 2? because they can interfere with sexual reproduction in mammals. ?While they are not prohibited in mobile phones, these phthalates are banned from use in all toys or childcare articles sold in Europe??
The chemicals, once more common in mobile industry are already being phases out by the iPhones competitors, with Nokia already banning them completely.
Greenpeace also took issue with the iPhones battery; which soldered in place is near impossible to recycle; though let?s face it ? problems with iPhone?s battery isn?t exactly new.
We have saved a lot of people then

Well, this is coffee house and particularly any them is allowed to be here, including the iPhone 
Speaking of the iPhone and Symbian, S60 platform to be precise:
Jobs praises Nokia's 3rd party app scheme, but he has it wrong
In chatting up Apple's sudden change of direction today on the whole native iPhone SDK issue, Steve Jobs did a little name dropping by mentioning that he digs the way Nokia does things with S60's support for third party applications. It seems apparent from the get-go that Steve has every intention of offering apps through some sort of official, money-generating conduit -- iTunes, we'd wager -- and with that comes the promise of digital rights management, authenticity verification, and all those nasty little technologies that set the hacking community ablaze. To that end, Steve mentioned that he digs Nokia's approach of requiring that apps be digitally signed so they can be traced back to their developers, an effort to stem "viruses, malware, privacy attacks" that he thinks will flourish on a "highly visible target" like the iPhone. There's a problem, though: there's no telling when the last time is that Steve touched a phone not of his own creation, but we've used S60 devices pretty recently (like, today) and we have it on good authority that you can disable certificate verification for installed apps. Think iPhone users are going to have that option? Probably not. Apple's still visibly concerned about keeping the iPhone under its perceived draconian control (even though it's been busted wide open time and time again), and we've no doubt that trend will continue in full effect with the SDK. It's a huge, landmark upgrade from the web-based SDK developers have now, yes -- but we'd recommend Steve screw around with an N95 for a while before he heaps any more love on the way Nokia goes about its business.

Not at all. That thing is so hyped, it just makes me think that the cause for this hype is stupid Apple marketing. Everyone wants to earn some money, but what Apple does is plain stealing... What an expensive, yet useless thing! Could have been an interesting gadget, or even become a smartphone to say the last
