Sony Ericsson has initiated steps towards developing eco-friendly mobile phones to keep our environment clean & safe. The Sony Ericsson Hazel & Elm (obviously named after the trees!!!) have both been developed under their GreenHeart™ portfolio and will still offer the wide range of features & applications that we have come to expect from Sony Ericsson.
According to the Sony Ericsson,” The phones are designed and developed under their GreenHeart™ portfolio without compromising its specifications, design, entertainment and usability.”
In line with this new range of phones the company said that from today their all accessories are developed under this GreenHeart™ portfolio, so that they help to reduce some part of CO2 emission via mobile phones & accessories. Their Hazel & Elm mobile phones are developed with recycled plastics, free from hazardous chemicals & materials, consume less power & come with minimized packaging.
And that is a big well done from Mr. Mopay for the foresight to do this and I will look forward to recycling these phones in the near future.
The Sony Ericsson Hazel & Elm are expected to arrive in the second quarter of this year and will compete with the Samsung model I previewed last year which had the solar panel back and was also made from recycled plastics.
I am really looking forward to both models and also to see what the uptake is on eco friendly phones??
I hope you all know the answer that I would like to see to this question!!!.
So until next time people keep recycling.
Sony Ericsson has their GreenHeart™ in the right place.
0800 FREEPHONE.... now FREE to move.
Hello again everyone,
It has been announced that 0800 numbers that have always been free from a landline are now to be free on mobile phones.
I for one welcome this news as a freephone numbe should be just that.. FREE.
When you are on the move and need to call a customer sevice line for your gas or electric supplier for example you can sometimes be on hold for 20 minutes or more at your cost to sort out a problem that may not be your fault and I found this somewhat annoying.
But no longer as they have seen sense and embraced the future. Free 0800 calls for everyone everywhere!!
Until next time people keep recycling!
Google i Phone Killer?
Hello again everyone,
Following on from my blog yesterday to encourage more mobile recycling aftre Christmas comes the news that Google are launching a new iphone competing phone the Nexus One.
So is this big news....
Well in some instances no, as they already produce the software for other similar phones produced by people such as HTC using the Android operating system. But this is their first step into hardware production and will be branded as Google and not another manufacturer. This brand association combined with the experience that Google have with Android surely makes them a big player offering similar apps. to the iphone.
But can it overtake the well established iPhone?
Mr. Mopay thinks given time.... Yes!!!!
Until next time people keep recycling.
Happy New Year - A Call to Change!
Hello again everyone and a Happy New Year to all!
So it is 2010. The year of the Tiger to some, a call to change and lose weight to others, but to me it signals the year that mobile phone recycling will really become common place and we will see more and more phones recycled and saved from a life left on a dump.
Most people now know about phone recycling and selling mobiles online due to the large marketing campaigns and mass TV coverage. It seemed to me over Christmas it went sofa sale, bed sale, recycle phone, recycle gold over and over again in the adverts and I think this exposure will this year really kick the mobile phone recycling market into action.
So my call to change is… make sure you not only recycle the old phone that was replaced with a new one this Christmas, but also go through your draws and find those older phones also and send them in also to mopay.co.uk
Until next time people keep recycling.
