Sprint announces the earth lovin' LG Remarq

General

sprint-lg-remarq

Do you do just about everything you can for Mother Earth, including having a bamboo wardrobe filled with hemp clothes? Do you ever think “man, I really could use a cell phone to quickly and efficiently organize tree sittings?” Do you wish that phone would have a built in Eco Calculator so you could calculate just how much CO2 you’re not pumping into the atmosphere by walking instead of driving (calculated in your choice of CO2 or trees planted)? If so, we strongly suggest you check out the newly announced LG Remarq from Sprint. Available on May 9th for $0 on a 2-year deal after rebates, the Remarq is made up partly of recycled plastics and the entire device will be 87% recyclable once the time comes for it to be powered down for good. Not only that, but its box is made of recycled brown craft paper, is printed with soy ink, and isn’t filled with wasteful paper manuals which will only to be made available online. Spec-wise the Remarq isn’t all that remarkable with a sliding QWERTY keypad, 1.3 megapixel camera and QVGA display, but let’s face it: you’re too busy saving the earth to be fiddling around with a brawny smartphone.

      LOL! How true. This think looks like it fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

      • Sugar Grove

        And ate the fruit on the ground before being run over by the Cordoba

    Wait until the Supersonic gets announced tomorrow. Now there is some real news

    This phone looks great for hybrid drivers who like to smell their own flatulence. Thaaaanx

    Not a bad device which is targeted for a specific market that other carriers don’t seem to care about. I believe Sprint also had the Reclaim which had the same eco-friendly stats. Basic looking phone, but does basically everything that most people want to do on their phones.

    Nice, means customers can throw it in the trash after they get sold on it

    • jprs

      The recycling bin, actually.

  • jprs

    I think one recyclable, superwide, qwerty packin’ slider is enough, Sprint.

  • TonyGlansburg

  • Mark

    It’s amazing LG actually pays someone to come up with these names. “Embarq” This is not 1997.

  • Chris

    They still want you to use a mail-in-rebate. Heh.

  • MobileGuru

    looks kinda cute lol

  • tim

    Lol! I’m sure someone will buy it …

  • Don Louie

    I think this is LG getting back at Samsung for jacking the Rumor and upgrading it, too bad they didn’t upgrade this.

  • 3 Phones Jugglin

    Just imagine…If every cell phone company built recyclable phones….this wouldnt be news. Itd be just another phone..

  • JFritz

    The keyboard doesn’t look bad but the front sure is unbpleasant.The Samsung “Eco” is nicer.

    Soy isn’t the most eco-friendly crop in our current times. I can’t uinderstand why people keep regarding it as such

  • adam the best

    alright i just bought this phone today..
    asides from the shit camera and no ringtones that it comes with, this phone is great if you want a small simple phone and have an ipod touch so you dont need a huge android… also i personally think this phone looks really cool and its definately sturdy
