Solar-Powered Samsung Blue Earth
Samsung has finally released the solar-powered Samsung Blue Earth handheld today–in Sweden. The new handset is called the Samsung Blue Earth, the main talking point for the handset is its solar charging, however it also boasts some other impressive specifications. The phone’s body is made from recycled plastic and it is packaged with recycled paper. Quick access to “eco-mode” easily limits power consumption on the device to conserve battery life. The Blue Earth is a quad-band GSM phone and features HSDPA connectivity for high-speed downloads. It comes with a 3.0-inch WQVGA capacitive touchscreen(INFO) which should aptly display photos taken with its 3.2 megapixel camera. Media lovers will appreciate that the phone includes a microSD slot for expanded storage options, stereo FM radio, and Bluetooth with A2DP for use with wireless headsets and headphones. It will eventually show up in other European countries such as France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Portugal with others to follow, but the United States is suspiciously absent from this list.No details on a more global release have yet been confirmed.
