Samsung_Blue_Earth.jpgFollowing in the footsteps of the QWERTY-equipped Samsung Reclaim, the company has now launched the Blue Earth, an environmentally friendly cell phone with a touch screen.

The Blue Earth was first shown at Mobile World Congress 2009 in Barcelona. The Blue Earth is made from post-consumer material (PCM) extracted from water bottles, in an effort to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions during manufacturing. It's free of phthalate, brominated flame retardants (BFR), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

The Blue Earth features a touch interface with an eco-friendly theme, robust power management tools, a built-in pedometer, and a CO2 emission reduction calculator. It comes with a 5-star energy efficient charger that consumes just 0.03W in standby mode.

No word on a U.S. release yet; this month it's launching in Sweden, with France, Germany, Austria, Italy, and Portugal soon to follow.
