Samsung S7550 Blue Earth
Released September, 2009
The Pros:Made partially of recycled materials. Comes in environmentally friendly packaging. Accelerometer-based step counter calculates how much CO2 you're saving from being released.
The Cons:No physical QWERTY keyboard. Gimmicky. TouchWiz software is not a real operating system - not a real smartphone.
