Comments on ‘Nokia develops eco phone concept’Tuesday 11th December 2007 14:14 GMT Am I missing the point...Horridbloke • Tuesday 11th December 2007 14:56 GMT
...or would holding onto your existing handset for more than a week be much better environmentally? Message to the world's teenagers and IT types: "Get a life, it's only a phone". Does it stop eating power when not connected to a phone?Anonymous Coward • Tuesday 11th December 2007 15:05 GMT
From what I have been told when a mobile phone charger is plugged in it eats power. Given that many of us leave these things plugged in, it seems the most simple step to save power is to stop the plug eating power when not connected to a phone. Does this phone/charger have this capability? Battery Life?Bruno Girin • Tuesday 11th December 2007 15:08 GMT
So if it's all meant to be eco-friendly and consume less energy, does it mean it will have a decent battery life? Extending battery life seems like an obvious way to be eco-friendly and appeal to customers at the same time. "Recyclable" means nothingMatt Morgan • Tuesday 11th December 2007 15:42 GMT
"Recyclable" is the same thing as "not recycled." What you need to look for is products made out of post-consumer, recycled material. That actually supports recycling. YawnElectro Boy • Tuesday 11th December 2007 16:00 GMT
Yyyyaaaaawwwwnnnnnnnnn.......zzzzzzzzzzzzz.......and other similar sentiments!! not solar?Matt • Tuesday 11th December 2007 17:07 GMT
The pointless sensor thing is solar powered, but not the phone itself? sounds like...andy rock • Tuesday 11th December 2007 17:25 GMT
...more quasi-green horseshit to me. i've it up to here [gestures at head height] of all the marketing crap attached to environmentalism now. it's been turned into 'just another market'. eco-fuels, carbon offsetting for your 20 flights a year, phones with 2% recyclable arse. aaaarrrrggh!!! stop it!! seriously, though, we need to consume LESS. that's all we can do. either that or have a rather large war, which i'm not _too_ keen on. interesting article on green consumerism here: http://www.monbiot.com/archives/2007/07/24/eco-junk/ Eco phoneAnonymous Coward • Tuesday 11th December 2007 19:56 GMT
Mobiles use lots of power when a long way away from the nearest mast, so the best way to reduce power consumption (and reduce the strength of mobile phone radiation) is to increase the number of phone masts. Also, running a mobile off the mains will reduce the power it consumes as it stops the battery going flat. However, it would be best to be able to isolate the mains from the battery unless the battery is flat and needs charging anyway. A phone that had a mains use only function would be necessary to maximise the power saving. Other obvious ways of greenifying your phone use: Don't use your phone to talk when you can text instead. Switch your phone off when you are not needing it. Don't send pictures unless you have to. If you are on the bus, leave your phone in your pocket rather than watching videos or playing games. Allow the battery to run down naturally to zero (or as close as you can cope with)before you charge your mobile. Don't replace your phone until you need to. Don't use your mobile when a land-line is available. The period for commenting on this story has finished |
