Samsung Electronics has unveiled a solar-powered full touchscreen phone called “Blue Earth”. Made from a recycled plastic — extracted from water bottles, the handset as well as charger, is also free from harmful substances.

More importantly, the Blue Earth is the first such phone to the market and charges up via the solar panel on the back of the phone, apparently generating enough electronic power to make a call anytime.

There is no further info on the device’s specifications. The ecological-friendly phone will be available in the UK during the second half of 2009.
