Jan 7 2009Motorola's New Carbon-Neutral Cell Phone
Motorola unveiled what is believed to be the first carbon neutral (and sideways) cell phone at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show this week. The W233 Renew Phone is made predominately out of recycled plastic bottles and Motorola hopes it will help the company bust a circuit all up in the environmentally friendly market segment.
Motorola said it was the world's first carbon neutral phone. As well as using recycled materials for the plastic casing, the company also pledged to offset the carbon dioxide used in manufacturing, distribution and operation of the phone through investments in renewable energy sources and reforestation.Motorola, which has lost market share by being slow to follow trends such as touchscreens and high-speed data links, also plans to showcase three different items at CES: a relatively large touchscreen tablet phone, a rugged phone, and a rechargeable cable TV remote control with a find feature.
Holy shit -- a rechargeable TV remote with a find feature! That's new and exciting! Seriously Motorola, I can see why you've been struggling. And who can get that excited about your recycled-plastic phone anyways -- it looks like the same piece of shit i was rocking three years ago (minus the lime green). Now a cell-phone manufactured out of used condoms, THAT would be something. Aural sex anyone?

Thanks to ITSELF, who once had phone-sex with some chick at 411 and didn't even have to pay.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie where Max was going to present his science paper about global warming at the climate change symposium. However snow storms and record cold temperatures forced the gathering to be canceled.
Al Gore explained that the temperatures were colder than ever because the globe is warming. He said a bunch of really sciency stuff, and showed Max some powerpoint slides by ILM.

Some Motorola designer needs to be fired so he can spend more time with his xbox 360. (My god that's ass-ugly with those blue buttons.)

If I have aural sex with you, I'm cuming straight into your brain. And since I cum like Superman, your brains will be on the opposite wall. KAPWAAOOW, muthaf***ah.

"Predominately", eh?

@gizmoduck:
Soon as that cell phone comes online they should shut it down, lest the robots begin to take over the world via cell phone reproduction.
@Daisy:
Is that the Geekologie/Superficial writer that inserts that every time to be ironic (it's supposed to be funny but isn't, hence the irony), or is it really someone who thinks it IS funny and has nothing better to do than waste time posting that stupid reference in every single article? Give it a rest. Dead horse and all that.

Not impressed.

This phone is fugly and the whole premise is fueled by unsubstantiated, for the most part, claims. I think I am going to rig a carbon neutral laser gun so I can deal with the morons that make this stuff up (Star WARS style) all while supposedly saving the environment.
@ Jim Jones
Thank you for recognizing the retardation that is Daisy...and you may want to keep up with Spam Artist as well. They are either the same person or are married - GOD FORBID! Let's hope they never bread! Talk about some REAL scary stuff, or FAKE scary stuff?? He, he.

I don't think spam artist & Daisy are the same person, Daisy has been around for months before the tender dracula thing started

Phew! At least I can feel better about the planet as my brain cooks... right on.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This was taken from a vision in a taco in which a scene from the movie Tender Dracula appeared. Dracula was on the third hole of the Sternont golf course when a bird flapping distracted him and he missed his swing. In a fury he bent his golf club over his knee and flung it skywards.
Being boomerangified, it returned and his caddy tried to catch it. Instead he lost the fingers of his right hand.

The best way to use a 'green' phone is to keep using the one you have.
Don't buy a new one, and don't lose it.
Green your phone by registering it at www.WimpIt.com
It will secure your phone so you don't lose it, or your valuable contact info, pics, etc.
There's more info on the website, check it out!

TRUTH!!!!
Daisy is a complete twat. You can tell he/she is a twat because the twat's dumbass posts.
This is exactly like that time in some movie where that twat thought that they were doing somting witty...and failed. However Daisy missed this movie and hence cannot control his/her twat-ness, which is very sad.
Al Gore showed that twats suck because the world doesn't need them. He said a bunch of really sciency stuff that proved it while having a deathgrip on his favorite pen.
