Samsung Blue Earth – The First Solar Powered Touchscreen Phone
Korean cell phone manufacturer Samsung Mobile has unveiled its new Blue Earth model, which works with solar energy. This cell phone was introduced yesterday at the Mobile World Congress 2009 in Barcelona.
The design doesn’t necessarily highlight the innovative energy use of the phone, but it is certainly a step forward in the mobile phone world. While other cell phone companies are trying hard to seduce consumers with design features or trying to reinvent the wheel around the same product, this model actually brings something new to the table, it is the first solar powered touch screen mobile phone.
Blue Earth is made from PCM (recycled plastic extracted from water bottles), and it is also free from harmful substances such as Brominated Flame Retardants, Beryllium and Phthalate.
Looking forward to see it in real and working.
