Sprint announced today the first eco-friendly phone from Samsung, the Reclaim. At $49.99 with a new two year contract, Reclaim's PVC and BFR (brominated flame retardants) free, "bio-plastic" material made from corn is 80% bio-degradable. The sliding device has QWERTY keyboard, 2 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, can accept microSD cards up to 32GB, and of course, has Sprint Navigation onboard.
The packaging will also be eco-friendly, and constructed from 70 percent recycled materials and printed with soy-based ink. The carrier will be selling the Reclaim in "Earth Green" or "Ocean Blue" come August 16th. Interestingly, $2 of its profit will be funneled to the Nature Conservancy's Adopt an Acre program. And oh, please be reminded, this phone is not microwaveable.
