Eco-friendly Samsung Blue Earth gets official

John Chan | Oct 14, 2009

We first saw the Samsung Blue Earth earlier this year during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. In June, we had a hands-on with the product when the chaebol showed it off at CommunicAsia in Singapore. Today, the Korean company released full specifications and availability. Aside from the integrated solar panel, its main differentiating factor, this handset comes with HSDPA connectivity, a full touchscreen display, 3.2-megapixel camera and even Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

According to the press release, the Samsung Blue Earth ships first to Sweden this month and "will soon launch" in other parts of Europe and Asia, though no pricing information was given. More specifically, Singapore will get the phone in November with other parts of Asia to follow thereafter. Click here for more details and our first impressions.
