Perhaps a nod to Samsung's
corny candybars and Nokia's wild
Earth-friendly hardware, Sony Ericsson has unveiled its GreenHeart concept, a never-destined-for-production handset that incorporates a bunch of green technologies that it'd like to bring to market over the coming years. Most of the GreenHeart's ideas are totally logical and could be executed today -- online user manuals, bioplastic and recycled plastic materials, and a charger that draws just 3.5mW in trickle mode, just to name a few -- but the company is shopping around the whole lot of it to customers and "selected partners" to determine which eco-concepts should be implemented for production and in what order. Unfortunately, Sony Ericsson isn't seeing fit to show any pictures of the GreenHeart right now, which we take to mean it looks like a tree.

Looks like the heart of the Hulk.
...Or your mom!... I wouldn't lie, your comment was pretty sweet...
or shrek?
Wow that green heart really grabs your attention.
"It's the beating of that hideous heart!"
aluminum cans connected by hemp string?
cigarette kills
To be honest, it's not that hard to be green when you never release anything... experia x1 I'm looking at you.
The phone will be made from the bark of an oak tree.
The buttons will be sap from the maple tree with mosquitos making the buttons trapped inside
the screen will be made by multi-coloured bugs running around the screen.....
YES I KNOW, stupid but when it started talking about eco friendly... it was the first thing in my head ^_^
You've an odd little noggin, haven't ya?
Adopting a standard USB charger would be a start
Not replacing your phone is probably the single most green move any of us could make.
The mobile phone companies should do promotions illustrating reliability, allowing users with old phones of theirs to submit their stories / pics and showing them still in use, with the best ones shown on their official websites.
Not making phones with silver (or otherwise) paint that peels off after some use would no doubt give lots one less reason to upgrade, too. The common-sense stuff always seems to be ignored, for obvious financial reasons.
Maybe that's what your heart looks like after a lifetime of mobile phone use. What are the phone companies not telling us??
"Reputed to have been ripped from the chest of the greatest vampire to have ever existed, Janos Audron, the [GreenHeart] restores vampiric unlife. Life is precious, Janos discovered - as it was torn throbbing and bleeding from his own body."
Dunno why this article made me think of Blood Omen...
I'm just glad to see companies getting the picture that you can clean up your act quite a bit with almost no effort...and you can market the result. Sure they could do a lot more to 'green' things up, but five years ago most major companies weren't even doing the effortless stuff.
I wonder if it can be used to control Davey Jones....
come on guys...let's think a little more deep here.....i agree with jorvay that a couple years ago nobody give a damn about saving our home...but now, looks like everybody trying to keep a pace with a trend....from my point of view, i think it's just another marketing stuff to keep the company name exist in our ordinary conversations.
my point is, rather than just publishing what you will do for the world, it's better to tell everyone what you just did to clean the envronments. but then, it won't sell a lot :)
*sorry for my bad english....I'm from Indonesia, one of the most pollutant country in our homeland of the universe
