发帖数: 60932 | 1 OK, so I'm not really sure where to throw this, but I thought it was
worthwhile since it saves people $120/yr on their service. Sprint just
announced the Samsung Replenish 2.2 Froyo Qwerty Slate:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/15/sprint-plays-the-green-card-
, an Eco Friendly Android phone that will be available without the
mandatory $10/mo premium data fee. This phone is not for us power hungry
fanatics, but it should appease many who want the basics in a smartphone and
don't see the value of the $10 fee.
The phone itself seems pretty cool for a basic Android phone. GPS, Wifi,
256mb RAM, 512mb onboard storage. 2.8" QVGA screen, microSD, and a pretty
cool solar charging battery door option.
Here's the little blurb from Engadget:
quote
Sprint's been playing the all-encompassing Eco-Friendly card for some time
now, and it looks as if last year's Restore (now available on Virgin Mobile
USA for $79.99 off-contract) is gaining an ultra-green sibling. Samsung's
newly unveiled Replenish feels a bit like an Android 2.2-powered, somewhat
matured BlackJack, boasting a 2.8-inch QVGA display, 2 megapixel camera /
camcorder, inbuilt WiFi / GPS, a microSD card slot, an optional solar door
charging accessory and a trio of color options (black, blue and -- our
personal favorite -- "raspberry pink"). Curious about eco-cred? It'll ship
May 8th for $49.99 (on a two-year contract) with fully recyclable packaging
and a casing that includes 34.6 percent post-consumer recycled plastic
content. Oh, and there's a postage-paid envelope to recycle your old phone,
too. Folks opting to throw Ma Earth a bone by picking one up must activate
it on an Everything Data plan, but the carrier will be waiving the $10
monthly premium data add-on charge to -- get this -- "make it easier for
customers to make eco-friendly buying decisions." Translation: you'll buy
whatever's cheapest. Full release is after the break. |
