The Banana phone – slipping into the niche fruit themed phone market next to Apple and

It's time to see if this newcomer can hold it's own during a durability test.

The box says “Talk more, smile more, and save the gorillas.”

I wasn't planning on saving any gorillas this morning, but this phone just talked me into it.

Inside the box we get some instruction booklets, the Banana phone itself, and a micro USB charging

My Banana has 3 buttons and is about the same size as a real banana, which I've included

Apparently by buying this phone, 1% of the sales are donated to Gearing up for Gorillas,

an organization working out of the Congo.

Grabbing my Mohs picks, there is no screen on this contraption, mostly because it works

exclusively through Bluetooth and acts as a wireless Bluetooth headset for your current

The whole thing appears to be made from yellow plastic - up here by the earpiece as well

The yellow buttons are also made from plastic, and the rest of the shaft down here next to

It's literally now possible to pair a Banana with an Apple via Bluetooth – and if that's

Peeling the Banana down at the bottom near the micro UBS charging port reveals more plastic.

I can see why the box said “Do not eat”.

You'd have to be bananas to eat this Banana, because going bananas means...yeah...right.

That is what we've all come here to find out.

Gripping the tropical fruit with both hands and flexing the construction reveals a solid

There is some creaking along the outer plastic peel, but the Banana remains solid and intact.

I would not worry about keeping this Banana in your pocket – unlike a real banana which

would definitely not be safe in your pants.

Here in the United States bananas are usually eaten raw, but in other parts of the world

there is a member of the banana family called Plantains that is fried and is surprisingly

My lighter doesn't cook this Banana real good, but I'll include a recipe in the description

if you want to make some real plantains for yourself.

You're currently watching a grown man play with a banana.

Let that sink in for a second, and figure out what life decisions got you to this point

It's time to take this Banana apart and review it from the inside.

The Banana has no visible exterior screws but does have a nice seam along the outside

that allows the Banana to peel in half, getting our first look inside.

And I'll be honest, there's quite a lot of wasted space in here.

There is plenty of room for wireless charging or even a headphone jack.

Curious enough though, there are 2 Phillips head screws holding down a large block of

People generally associate weight with quality, so adding a metal banana core, while decreasing

nutritional value, would indeed provide a false sense of quality and substance.

There are 4 screws holding down the motherboard to the Banana peel.

There is no water proofing inside the Banana but there is a lot of hot glue holding in

It's a very inexpensive, yet effective construction technique.

Up top we have the largest earpiece I've ever seen inside of a phone, held in place by the

It's hard wired to the motherboard just like the microphone down at the bottom of the Banana.

Repairability wasn't high on the priority list during the Banana design process...no

I was finally able to pop the charging port out of the device, but not before it snapped

in half rendering my Banana un-chargeable in the future.

The battery is a 450 milliamp hour, which gives this Banana about 10 hours of talk time.

Apple's usually have closer to 14 hours of talk time, and finally Apple beat another

The 3 buttons are all injection molded into one piece.

Overall I would have to say that the Banana shape is a great form factor for a cellphone.

It has a nice curve to it – way better than something round like an orange...or this carrot.

Do you think Banana phones are going to be the next big thing?

If you want a Banana phone of your own, I'll put a link down in the video description.
