After our last post on Green Cars Auto Sector @ Auto Expo 2010 - Going Green now which got a quite decent response, it's time to highlight some Green Mobile phones
Mobile phone companies these days are going green with a vengeance. After being accused of being part of a sector that perhaps creates the most amount of e-waste, some of the major cell phone manufacturers have launched schemes to let users dump their cell phones in a responsible manner (Nokia, in fact, has ewaste dumpers in each of their Priority stores in addition to having Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan endorse the scheme).
Meanwhile, the Japanese- Swedish combine Sony Ericsson began its GreenHeart programme in which it promised to manufacture environment friendly phones. One such phone - codenamed Faith - will be part of its offering soon.
According to rumours doing the rounds of tech blogs around the world, the Faith handset is powered by MSM7227 600MHz Qualcomm processor running Windows Mobile 6.5 (WM6.5) operating system.
The phone (earlier Green-Heart devices include the Elm and the Hazel) will continue to be part of the company's eco-friendly image campaign. An earlier Green- Heart release said: "The GreenHeart is a full concept with all life cycle in mind it includes features such as bioplastic housings, recycled plastic keypads, zero charger with 3.5mW standby power, HTML based e-manuals, a game style educational application 'Ecomate' and environmentally conscious packaging."
