To me, green begins with simplification. A solar charger is a nice compliment, but a pedometer is unnecessary (I don't need numbers to relay how green my ego is). And the Nokia…what if I need a charger?! Then I have to buy one and waste that packaging. If there is any unnecessary packaging for any cell phones, they should get rid of it just because, and not label it green. "Green" seems to be a ploy to the ego in most cases.

The solar charging idea is great. I don't want a "smart" phone… strip it down to the most basic simple phone that places calls, sends text messages, and charges itself. That would be very practical.

Waylon – that is a tough call. I have worked with the guys at Working Assets and am a believer in supporting the earth and good causes to the tune of some discomfort. But the lack of true smartphone support is tough as it has an impact on how one interacts with the world on a daily (maybe even minute by minute) basis. When the devices and coverage improve, it is a no brainer to go greener, even at a cost.
