Samsung Blue Earth, also known as Samsung S7550, or Samsung GT-S7550 (European model), is a touchscreen phone made from recycled plastic culled from plastic water bottles.[2] It was announced on 12 February 2009.[3] The unit has a solar panel on the back, covering 80% of the area. An hour of charging under sunlight can provide 10 minutes of talking on 3G networks or 2 hours in standby.[4] A conventional rechargeable battery is also provided.
Reception
[edit]CNET praised the phone for its design and feature set, but criticized its small screen and lack of a physical keyboard.[5]
Times of Malta enjoyed the phone's screen, camera quality, and Internet connectivity, while noting its high price "compared to phones with similar functions."[6]
