Don’t get me wrong – I’ve never been in Sweden. But when I think about solar panels, it’s probably the last place that comes to my mind. In that sense, I was surprised to learn that Samsung will be initially introducing its eco-friendly, solar panel-equipped Blue Earth phone in the land of Ikea, Absolut vodka and Ericsson later this month. Sure, other places — including France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Portugal and more European and Asian countries — will follow shortly, but that’s not the point here. The point is that it should be launched in a sunny place in Mediterranean first, then and only then moved to northern European countries. Or that’s just me, not seeing the big picture. Go figure.
Anyway, as soon as we hear it’s officially available, we’ll let you know again. This is one handset that should be super exciting for every green-aware individual out there. The reason is simple – features remain on place (even though it’s not a smartphone), and we also have a solar panel on the back. Kudos to Samsung for pulling this out!

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.
