Taking another leap in technology and going green , Samsung has planned to showcase a sloar powered phone called Blue Earth at MWC 2009, which is manufactured from recycled plastic extracted from used Water bottles, which is meant to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions during the fabrication process. Moreover, the new handset, charger included, does not include harmful substances like Brominated Flame Retardants, Beryllium and Phthalate.
Quoting :
“Samsung’s ‘The Blue Earth Dream’ demonstrates our small but meaningful commitments for the future and our environment,” said Mr. JK Shin, executive vice president and head of Mobile Communication Division of Samsung Electronics. “We are committed to achieving the highest eco-status with our customers and business partners by providing the best eco-products and promoting eco-activities.”
The Blue Earth handset has been designed to resemble a flat and well rounded shiny pebble, and comes as the first solar powered full-touch screen phone in the world. The solar panel situated on the back of the phone allows users to charge the device enough to make any call at any time.
With the introduction of this phone , Samsung has really shown how business can be done by being eco friendly. I think this time Samsung is going to start the trend of eco-friendly phones ,and may be today or tomorrow , everyone is going to follow ( even Apple I think ). I am sure this phone which has got beautiful looks will find a big market due to capability to charge anywhere using Sunlight ( unless you are planning a trip to Antarctica )….
