It would put a stop to all the overpriced must have rubbish out there and your street cred for this phone will be much higher with people safe in the knowledge that no worker was taken advantage of in the production process.....

An excellent concept @MI5. Thanks for posting the URL. Many issues I had been wholly unaware of.
Wouldn.'t it be fabulous if a similar approach could be initiated with a view to promoting, developing and encouraging decent Customer Services. I gripe a lot about CS but one does have to have some sympathy for the individuals involved, treated as many if them are, like battery hens.

Interesting project, FairTrade for mobiles, as you said something that all manufacturers could learn from.

More companies should be looking at fair trade and not just in the mobile/communication industry.
