Hardware review of Sprint’s GREEN Samsung Reclaim

Sprint and Samsung are hoping for some kudos from the green movement with their launch of the Reclaim, and overall it provides some great functionality for a midrange mobile phone. It’s made from recycled and recyclable plastics, but that doesn’t get in the way of this value-packed device.

Soy-based inks used in the instruction manual and minimalist packaging emphasize the Reclaim’s eco friendliness.

The Reclaim comfortably fit in my hand and the plastic felt sturdy. Button placement was intuitive although at times I found myself hitting the selector button and return button at once on accident because of cramped space.

That’s important for any green gadget because if it doesn’t live up to the same level of excellence other non-recycled items provide they’ll struggle for adoption. This first video is a review of the Reclaim’s hardware.

It sounds like a pure green product. It's good to see more eco-friendly products getting launched. With so many cell phones getting discarded every year companies needs to think about recalling their products.

I am pro eco products. When we will start seeing electric cars everywhere on the street we will know that we have developed enough! Anyway, technology have improved a lot lately. I don't even want to think of the innovations in computer programming. I hope we don't come to the point where we are being rules by machines! Hopefully this won't happen too soon, and until then I'll enjoy my computer games and use the basic programs I need like registry cleaner and anti-viruses.

It's nice to see how technology is evoling ! and at what an amazing rate also ! It's mindblowing for most of us... even people like me who spend up to 14 hours a day in front of a computer and are up to date with everything and I still find things amazing !
