For as long as I have lived in the lovely state of Arizona, I have had nothing but problems and negative thoughts towards Sprint's problematic phone service. That is, until I stumbled upon their ingenious launch of the new Samsung "Reclaim" Green Phones!

That's right ladies & gents... first fashion went green and now cellphones. Welcome to the Green-Twilight-Zone, we have officially broken ground!

It is still unclear as to whether or not environmentalists and consumers necessarily care enough about going as far as "greening their cell phones", but only time will tell! As of August 6th, 2009 Sprint made their Reclaim phones available to the public; a phone that is made of over 80 percent recycled materials and 40 percent of its case is created from corn-based bioplastics. The back case is even equipped with a solar panel. This is HUGE!

The phone is not only sustainable, but also super trendy! The color? Obviously, a bright quirky green hue. The phone? Beyond snazzy. Reclaim users can enjoy the luxury of high-speed 3G network access, a swift sliding keyboard, and GPS. Not to mention you will always be one-click-away from accessing your beloved Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and YouTube accounts!

If you're not into all the jazz of high-end features and like to keep your phone as simple as possible, you're in luck. Sony Ericsson and Nokia have gone the opposite route, creating bare-bone phones for those who like to keep it plain.

One can only wonder what will be green-a-fide next?
