Full FeedSamsung intros the solar-powered Blue Earth mobile phone
Samsung has recently unveiled the eco-friendly Blue Earth mobile phone and despite the fact that the back is a solar-panel the phone still offers a decent overall look. To begin with, the obvious look of the handset itself, the front side contains a large touchscreen display and the back features a solar panel that is reported to be capable of being able to make a call at just about any time.
The Blue Earth also features an “Eco Mode” that allows for items such as display brightness, backlight duration and Bluetooth to be run in a more energy efficient mode. Other eco-friendly features that you will find on the Blue Earth is the “Eco Walk” function that will count steps thanks to the built-in pedometer as well as an energy efficient charger. Of course, what eco-friendly phone would be complete without proper packaging, the Blue Earth is made from PCM (a recycled plastic) that is made from old water bottles and will ship in recycled packaging?
As for availability, it is expected to hit the UK market during the second half of 2009. It seems that the Blue Earth is going to see a very limited release, hopefully we will see it spread to other areas as well. The pricing information is still unknown.
