It’s completely unbelievable but Samsung has just showed their new phone the Blue Earth – a solar-powered touchscreen phone that stands on the basics of  eco-friendliness. The phone is all things green, for example, it comes with a built in pedometer and it calculates how much CO2 you are throwing in the air. What is more, there are two ways of powering the phone – the first one is a traditional one and the second is a solar panels’ energy. So your phone will work as  long as the sun is here. The telephone is free of harmful materials.

The Blue Earth will debut in the UK in the second half of 2009. Would you like to have such a phone?

Mobile World Congress hasn’t even started yet, but the rumours are already spreading like a wildfire. The most interesting are about the 16GB Samsung Omnia new pictures. Frankly speaking the phone seems to be an exact copy of its current 8GB incarnation. The phone comes with a quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and single-band UMTS/HSDPA connectivity, what is more it offers the usual 3.2-inch WQVGA touchscreen, a 5-megapixel camera with built-in flash, a secondary QCIF front camera, built-in Bluetooth, WiFi, and GPS. According to official news, Samsung will really introduce both a 12 megapixel and an 8 megapixel handsets, and the phones will have two different operational systems.
