(Credit: Samsung)The solar-powered Samsung Blue Earth handheld was finally released to the public today--in Sweden, at least. The touch-screen phone with the solar charger on the back is also set to launch in other countries soon; they are France, Germany, Austria, Italy, and Portugal, just to name a few.
We first saw this eco-friendly phone at GSMA 2009 and then our colleagues over at CNET Asia finally got their hands on it at CommunicAsia 2009. We're actually getting a review unit of this phone for ourselves soon, so we'll let you know if it truly does live up to its green promise.

- During the summer months, many Swedes will sun themselves as often as possible. They will sun themselves anywhere they happen to be -- offices, park benches, restaurant patios, you name it. Swedes worship the sun because they get so little of it, and therefore, this is probably the best place in the world to release this device, because it's as sun-crazy as your average Swede.
