3110 Evolve goes public
By James on 01 May 2008
LONDON, England – Our mates at SmartPlanet.com have been playing with
the all new Nokia 3110 Evolve – the first Nokia device to use
bio-plastics.
As SmartPlanet editor Adam Vaughan describes it “a phone
so green, it makes the Incredible Hulk look positively lime coloured”.
The Evolve comes packed in a box much smaller than standard Nokia boxes, instantly highlighting its green creds. However, Adam takes umbrage at the fact the box is made of 60 per cent recycled card, and not 100 per cent (we’re sure there’s a good reason for that, so we’ll be looking into it bit further). He also highlights the compostable plastic used inside which he describes as “a cute touch”.
The thing that stands out for Vaughan though is the casing material used to make the device, but once again he questions why it isn’t 100 per cent bio-material – is there no pleasing this boy?
He does have a point though and once again we’ll be in search of the answers. Watch out for more on this coming up.
Check out Adam’s video review on SmartPlanet.com
By the way Adam, I always thought limes were green.

Thanks for the mention James!
You’re right, I screwed up on the name — my bad.
The limes I buy are usually light green, so (in a roundabout way) I was trying to say that this phone was dark green and made limes look light green…. Maybe a little bit too roundabout!

May I suggest a new “green” feature? maybe putting a Solar Cell behind the screen or using some type of transparent plastic and behind it the solar cell can help with the environment using the solar light to charge the batteries….
