How it's made/ cell phone dissection

PCS Touchpoint tp2200 Phone Dissection

For this project we were asked to dissect and old cell phone and research the materials processes used to make the phone. I was able to find a very old cellphone at my house and began taking it apart. I was surprised at how well put together this phone. It was interesting to see how they can fit so many parts together and still have an only slightly thick cell phone. After completely seperating the parts, I researched the materials that made up this particular phone.
