It has been a while, since we have reported on the Blue Earth from Samsung, and it appears that the solar paneled phone will be making its first appearance as scheduled in October, in Sweden. Yes, it will eventually show up in other European countries such as France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Portugal with others to follow, but the United States is suspiciously absent from this list.

At least we know more about the release of the Blue Earth! Oh, wait. We still don’t have word of the price as yet.

Samsung has been spamming everyone with new phones lately and most of them will probably be available at MWC. Here we have a new handset, but this one is a very eco-friendly phone. The Blue Earth phone is made by PCM a material derived from recycled plastic water bottles. The phone comes also with an economy mode planned to increase its efficiency. The Blue Earth knows how to adjust screen brightness, backlight duration and Bluetooth usage. It also has an interesting application which you might not use that much. A built-in pedometer will tell you how much CO2 emission you have saved by walking instead of driving. The solar panel on the back will charge your phone enough to make a phone call anytime you’re in the sun.

Samsung does have a phone made out of corn but Blue Earth is a much better eco-friendly phone. We have no idea how much it will cost or what it has inside but we know it’s coming some time in the second half of the year.
