Samsung Electronics has unveiled a solar-powered full touchscreen phone called "Blue Earth". Samsung's Blue Earth handset might just be taking the green thing to a whole new extreme. Made from PCM, a recycled plastic from water bottles, the phone boast an "eco" mode for efficiently adjusting screen brightness, backlight duration and Bluetooth usage, and an "eco walk" app / built-in pedometer to tell you how much CO2 emission you've saved by walking instead of driving.
Both the handset, and its charger, are free from harmful substances such as Brominated Flame Retardants, Beryllium and Phthalate. Samsung says the Blue Earth comes with a unique user interface designed "to draw attention to preserving our fragile environment".
With recycled packaging, and energy efficient charger, the Samsung Blue Earth will be available in the UK during the second half of 2009. We're waiting on more specification information about the handset from Samsung and will update the story when we have it. Not a word on price has been specified yet.
