v class="googleright">,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]Solar powered devices have been with us for decades now. They get even more popular these days with peak oil crisis landing on the headlines amidst a troubled economic climate. Solar-power homes and cars are welcome developments as an excellent energy source. It is part and parcel of the efforts at greening the planet, saving it from the onslaught of carbon emissions and using renewal materials to conserve the earth's natural resources.
Nothing is small enough to contribute to the effort. Enter the green mobile phone. To mention the more famous ones, we now have the Samsung full QWERTY Reclaim SPH-M560 and the candybar Motorola Renew W233 and Sony Ericsson C901 early this year. LG has a new one as well.
Samsung has been in the forefront of using green mobile phones and now releases what is reputed as the world's first eco-friendly full touchscreen smartphone - the Samsung Blue Earth. First revealed at this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the new Samsung touchscreen is expected to hit the markets this month in time for your holiday shopping. It has launched in Sweden in October and should be appearing in France, Germany and other European countries as this article is written.
Earth-Friendly Features
What makes the Blue Earth green? Firstly it has the features shared with older eco-friendly handsets that use recycled plastics for its body. It uses Post Consumer Materials or recycled plastics from discarded water bottles stripped of harmful substances like as PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), Phthalate and BFR (Brominated Flame Retardants). In addition, its production methods used lower energy consumption as carbon emission. Even its packaging box is made of recycled paper products and the ink to print on it is made of Soya (whatever greening value that has).
The green handset comes with a matching 5-star rated green battery charger that Samsung claims consumes no more than 0.03W of power. Talking about powering up the Blue Earth,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it has the usual solar charging panels that dominate its back cover apart from its camera lens.
This forms the core of any eco-friendly mobile phone using solar energy to power it up. Sunlight is considered one of the most environment friendly energy sources that greatly reduces your dependence on using non-renewable power sources.
Using the phone shows its eco-friendly bias. It has the Eco Mode switch that allows power conservation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], dimming its backlight and turning off its Bluetooth after a few minutes when not in use. It has phone apps like the Eco-Walk that counts our steps when walking and the reduction in CO2 emission when taking the train or bus instead of your car.
Now for the Phone Features
What makes the Blue Earth stand out is that it combines its eco-friendliness with state of the art mobile phone features. The Samsung Blue Earth doesn't disappoint here. It's your basic quad band GSM and3G/HSDPA/HSUPA for super-fast internet surfing on the road. You get a 3" Wide-VGA capacitive touchscreen with auto-rotate accelerometer. There's a competitive 3.2 megapixel camera with LED flash, geo-tagging from its GPS receiver, face recognition and VGA video recording at 15fps.
You have usual microSD for up to 16
