Sprint Launches Samsung Reclaim, Announces Environmental Efforts
Posted in: Environment, samsung, Sprint, Today's Chili
Sprint and Samsung have unveiled the Reclaim, an eco-friendly cell phone that’s made of bio-plastic and other recycled materials. The 3G QWERTY slider includes GPS, a 2-megapixel camera, and stereo Bluetooth support, and comes in Earth Green and Ocean Blue. (The green one looks perfect for anyone who owns one of these.)
The Samsung Reclaim will hit retail channels on August 16th for $49.99 after a two-year contract and various rebates. Whenever someone buys the phone, Sprint will donate $2 of the proceeds to The Nature Conservancy’s Adopt an Acre program, which highlights land conservation and natural habitat preservation across the U.S.
Sprint has also launched several new environmental initiatives. It has established a set of design criteria for all future phones, it’s adding dedicated display areas in stores to remind customers of its eco-friendly nature, and it’s also committed to reducing paper usage by 30 percent over the next five years.
