The phone is manufactured using an environmentally-friendly metal finishing process, and it does not use any heavy metals like Lead, Mercury and Cadmium.
Seoul - South Korea's President Lee Myung Bak said Wednesday he is ready to make a "fresh start" after weeks of mass protests over a US beef import deal prompted his entire cabinet to offer their resignations.
"I had a lot of mixed feelings watching last night's street rallies. I myself participated in pro-democracy activities as a student in the past," said Lee on Wednesday, referring to the 80,000 demonstrators opposing the resumption of US beef imports in central Seoul Tuesday night.
"I'm determined to make a fresh start. Let's pursue aggressive challenges in these difficult times," said Lee, indicating an intention to conduct a sweeping shake-up of his cabinet after only 108 days in office, according to Yonhap.
