Everybody is a tree hugger now and Samsung joins the fray by releasing the E1107 Crest. It has a solar panel at the back and an hour of solar charging can give you 10 minutes of talk time(not bad not bad at all). The E1107 is made of 80% recycled materials.Hmmm thinking about going green right now.
