Nokia already paved the way in creating eco-friendly phones. Samsung followed its lead with its own line of cell phones having the same objective- to manufacture technology gadgets that would not harm the environment. Such philosophy and respect for nature gave birth to the Samsung E200 Eco Edition.

The Samsung E200 Eco Edition is quite a slender and sleek phone, which is rather impressive and very trendy. But don't get fool with its rather loud look, the Samsung E200 Eco Edition is an eco-friendly phone made from plant-based material. These materials are actually extracted from plants. Given the fact that the Samsung E200 Eco Edition is made from materials from nature, you don’t need to doubt its durability and quality. Samsung lives up to the standard of the rest of the cell phone it manufactures. The packaging of this phone kit is also eco-friendly as well. It comes with a non-coating recycled box made from paper.

The Samsung E200 Eco Edition had a very noteworthy grand launching when it was unveiled during the Olympics Rendezvous in Beijing. Other eco-friendly cell phones were featured during the event including the F268 and the W510. Samsung intends to broaden their line of eco-friendly products and use bio-plastic technology in its future phones.

Such a change of manufacturing technique actually helped in reducing 2.16 tons of carbon dioxide. Samsung, in cooperation with Cheil Industries, is working hand in hand in creating renewable and environment-friendly materials that can be used with today's technology without compromising function and quality.

The Samsung E200 Eco Edition phone has the same features and functions as the Samsung E200. This includes a built in 1.3 megapixel camera, SMS and MMS function and WAP capabilities. You can enjoy playing games with its 1.8-inch 65K TFT colored screen with 176 x 220 pixel resolution. It has GPRS, EDGE technology, Bluetooth, MP3 player and stereo FM radio.

With such a move by one of the giants in the mobile industry, the rest of the players in this field would surely take a step towards the eco lane and emulate what this company has ventured in. It's high time that cell phone manufacturers set aside focus on creating sales and think about our nature and the future of our environment.
