Nokia Prep “Green” Editions of N8 and C7 Handsets

Nokia announced today that it is in the process of releasing new, “green” editions of its C7 and N8 smartphones, featuring reduced packaging, efficient power supplies, and a collection of environment-related apps.

The phones themselves aren’t getting any changes as part of this eco-effort. To the company’s credit, both are already engineered from relatively earth-friendly materials. Instead, Nokia’s cutting back on packaging for the phones, using “just enough to protect the devices in transit.”

Nokia posted that the green editions of the N8 and C7 will include high-efficiency charging adaptors, but didn’t go much into specifics, suffice it to say that the phones will charge more quickly when using these cords. After the power mishaps with the N8, we hope Nokia has gotten its charging issues sorted out.

Without detail as to the breakdown of the included environmental apps, it’s tricky to tell if they’ll add much to the phone’s greenness. We know there will be an eco-themed educational game and a statement about the phone’s environmental impact, but beyond that, “other third-party apps” is all Nokia offered.
