I was just listening to NPR the other day and they were talking about environmental concerns with the hazardous substances that cell phones are built from in order to keep them flame resistant and such - like lead and mercury. Therefore I find it even weirder that someone would want to keep flammable substances in their phone... or maybe not.

So now there's this stupid smelly phone that acts as a perfume spritzer, spewing flammable liquid left and right and possibly in my eyes as I fumble for it in the car. I mean really, I understand the wish to make cell phones as functional as possible, but why not improve upon the somewhat reflective mirror on the Samsung A970 instead and make it suitable for makeup?

Keitai KunKun’s Smelltones be damned, now we getting into the land of proper perfume spraying mobile devices. You’ve got to have yourself a damn intense affinity for fragrances — and a tolerance for otherwise lackluster looking gimmicky devices — to drop $1,200 on Hyundai’s MP 280 perfumephone, which gives a spritz whenever you open it up. But don’t worry, after you exhaust your supply of Marc Jacobs EDP you can refill the perfume chamber with a syringe — also somehow strangely appropriate.
