Samsung will be rolling out what it calls a “green phone”, the W510. The reason why it is green is because it is made out of bio-plastic, a natural material extracted from corn that won’t pollute the enviroment as much as a manufacturing standard cell phone would. It will hit the Korean market later this month, so if you want one you can always head there and pick up a handset unlike any other. After all, it is hard to argue against an applied water-soluble coating, right? Makes me wonder just how much of an environmental impact the 3G iPhone will make assuming it hits the 10 million sales target. Another green phone from Samsung would be the F268 that has an alarm function that alerts the user each time it is fully charged so that you won’t waste any power leaving it plugged in.
