Samsung Replenish hands-on

We’ve just spent some time with Samsung’s brand new eco-friendly device, the Samsung Replenish. In terms of eco-friendliness, the device is made of up over 80% recyclable materials. It features a 2-megapixel camera, 2.8-inch display, reasonably large 1600 mAh battery and it runs Android 2.2 (Froyo). The QWERTY keyboard is reasonably decent, too. We’re able to pound out emails quickly, and it’s reminiscent of the old Samsung Blackjack-style layout. The big news here is that there’s an optional solar-charging battery cover that will give you an extra 20 minutes of talk time after 1 hour of sun bathing. Sprint is also encouraging and rewarding Replenish owners for being so green by not charging the extra $10 smartphone fee that’s normally required. The Samsung Replenish will be available on May 8th for $49.99 with color choices of black, blue or magenta.

    So now they’re reverting to copying Blackberry (should call this phone the BlackJack). They’ll make more money copying AAPL.

    It’s nice though it looks a bit dated.

    They should’ve done something similar to the BlackJack 2 or Jack for AT&T: really nice-looking devices.

    I love how they wave the $10 data tax fee for this phone. Thats total BS.

    The only thing they need to “replenish” is their litigation budget.

      Wow, what an insightful comment! You are obviously quite educated. I’m surprised you didn’t describe it as “gay,” “queer,” or even the incredible “retarded.” Please comment more often so I can donate more money to public schools because if you’re any sort of indication they are severely under-funded.

    Not as thin as the press pictures indicated, but good enough.

    Just hope the battery life is decent.

    um hey dickheads, I applaud sprint at being more eco friendly. We’ve screwed up this planet enough. And I’m not some prius driving environmental fanatic, but what’s wrong with baby steps in the right direction? Also, who cares if you dont like what it looks like? Go buy an iphone.

    How exactly is this a “hands-on”? The only thing that wasn’t in the official press release was that the keyboard was reasonably decent.

    probably the nicest phone ive ever seen! Definitely the biggest bang for the back, especially escaping the 10 monthly fee from sprint, do the math….best phone for the money, hands down 

  • Coffeebean862003

    excuse me, biggest bang for the buck
