Samsung unveils solar-powered phone

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 02/16/2009 12:26 PM | source: | 0 comment(s)

Samsung unveils solar-powered 'Blue Earth' phone billed as the world's first solar-powered touchscreen phone. For starters, the back side of the Blue Earth has been outfitted with a large solar panel. They say that this panel will be able to generate enough electricity to make a phone call any time that you want. Presumably, you'll need to holster the phone to the outside of your pants to do that, because not too many of the sun's rays will be able to penetrate your backpack or pocket. 

The phone can be set in "Eco Mode" too to lower the screen brightness, reduce the backlight duration, and shut off the Bluetooth. Like the Motorola's green 'Renew' phone, the Blue Earth's shell is molded out of plastic derived from recycled water bottles, and its 'small and light' packaging is made out of recycled paper, according to Samsung (which also notes that both the handset and charger are beryllium-, phthalate-, and brominated flame retardant-free). Look for the Samsung Blue Earth to hit the UK in the second half of this year.
