Ahead of the Mobile World Congress, Samsung announced a super-cool device. Cool because it has the word “blue” in its name (it’s name is “Blue Earth”)? Or because it’s all touchscreeny-feely? No! Because it’s very green:
It’s solar-powered, it is made from recycled plastics (water bottles, just like the Motorola one I blogged about recently). Packaging? Recycled paper. And then it also has a couple of sweet little gadgets: you can for instance see how much CO2 you saved by using the in-built pedometer. Now, this (not the pedometer, the phone) is something rather cool!
I will maintain – again – though that the question remains why they then do not do this kind of thing across all their products? In particular a company of Samsung’s size and might could surely make a difference if this would not only concern one handset but their entire product portfolio. Come on, guys!
