In the spirit of the upcoming Earth Day, let’s peep the Motorola Renew, available from TMo.
A cute little bar phone, in green and white of course. Can’t have a “green” phone without it being colored green, can you?
The hook is that it has ecologically responsible retail packaging, includes a postage paid recycling envelope. The phone itself is made from recycled water bottles, and the plastic housing is 100% recyclable. Also, the battery life is upwards of 9hrs, so there is less charging time needed for this phone.
This phone also claims to be certified carbonfree through carbonfund.org. Through this Alliance, they will be used to offset the energy to manufacture, distribute and operate the phone by investing in renewable energy sources and reforestation.
The Deets? Meh. Very basic, no camera, no headset jack, but hey, it’s green and it’s cute.
Rumors, leaks and fuzzy pictures have been floating around about the upcoming Samsung handset to be running Android. The handset might pop it’s head up in Q3 of this year. It’s being compared to the HTC Magic, which leads us to believe that it will have a virtual keyboard, and use the 3.5 Qualcomm chipset.
The HTC Magic is expected to drop into the European market in Q2, and HTC has also committed to two more Android based devices for 2009. Motorola is also said to be gearing up for an Android range of handsets too, and we may see these as early as Q2 of this year.
I want to see more Android action. I will be keeping a close eye on these rumors.
Today, Motorola announced the Motorola DEVOUR , Verizon’s first phone to have the MOTOBLUR capabilities.
