i personally think a leather backed phone is pretty ridiculous. it's going to get super scuffed what with how much wear and tear phones go through. and if it's in a case, the leather gets covered up. no point to it.

the back faceplates are gonna be changeable and I believe RIM is going to offer several color options for them.

What... we have environmentalist hippies now complaining about cows? Sweet... besides, what hippie would use a power-house of a phone like this anyway? It just may give them cancer... ๐คจ
...
one does not have to be a hippie to care about the slaughter of animals to make a phone look "cool".
...
Tard, we eat cows by the state full, so why does it matter what happens to the hides? At least they are getting used. We breed cows to eat them.
...
do you really have any concept of how long we have been killing cows to survive? not to mention as far as i know nothing from a cow is really wasted anyways, and if your really that concerned about the animals go live in the wilderness and see if the animals care enough about you to keep you alive as well.... ๐

Aaaahhhh, eatin a burger, having a bud, waitin for the Bold, life couldn't be better. ๐คค
MIF.
...
Seriously??? The Rock says:"It doesn't matter how many!!!" The BOLD is gonna lay the smackdown on all the jabroni PDA's and smartphones...Now can you smell the email-pda-media-3g-phone goodness that RIM is cookin'!!!
...
HAHA, I love that sh*t, well done.

Don't worry................ The number of Sonic burgers sold alone, if stacked one patty on top of the other, would reach the height of the Empire State Building 365,114 times in just one month. Pretty sure there is more than enough soon-to-be-leather to go around. ๐
...
None......
They are using a synthetic product that feels like leather. It is not real leather so not a single cow had to sacrifice their life.
...
I personally think that as a rule, whenever a carrier launches a new phone they should choose one species to eradicate by launch date, i vote iPhone 3.0 = death to all toucans.
...
Well considering how big one cow is and how small the back plate of one phone is I would say they probably got 30 to 50 phones from one cow so my final answer would be 1/50th of a cow was killed for this phone Regis...
