Sprint adds even more eco-friendly accessories

Sprint is trying really hard to win some green points in the customers’ eyes. At the end of May, we said they’ve added green accessories to their portfolio and now they’re doing it again. This time, they’ve announced:

  • All-In-One Vehicle and Wall Charger, which allows users to drop other chargers and use this one exclusively. That’s in case, they [customers] decide to pour out $39.99 to own one.
  • Solio solar powered charger, which comes as an addition to the existing SOLIO Mono Hybrid Charger. As you can guess, it’s for people living sunny areas such as California and Florida, only, and the carrier will start offering it in October.
  • Eco-Friendly Universal Cases made from sustainable materials like cotton and linen. These come in two sizes and each cost $19.99.

At the end of the press release, Sprint reminds us that their recently announced Samsung Reclaim is the first phone in the U.S. which is constructed partly from corn-based bio-plastic. Moreover, they say with every Reclaim purchase, $2 of the proceeds will benefit the Nature Conservancy’s Adopt an Acre program, which supports land conservation across the United States… More information about Sprint’s eco accessory offering is available from this page.

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
