The Samsung E200 Eco mobile phone was showcased at the Beijing Olympic Games, where visitors could see a new eco-friendly mobile handset made of safe materials and based on its E200 model design. On the exterior, the handset has corn-derived biodegradable plastic layer, replacing the petroleum-based material, while the box it comes in features non-coated recycled paper.

"We are committed to being an environmentally and socially responsible corporate citizen," declared Geesung Choi, Samsung telecommunications president. "We strive to make more products as green as possible and to proactively set up and expand a phone recycling system."

According to Digital Trends, Samsung E200 Eco will be out in September in the European stores, together with other eco-friendly models such as the Samsung W510 and Samsung F268.

We don’t know if the Eco version of the Samsung E200 bar phone will be ultra-slim measuring 9.9 mm thick like the standard model, but inside it features a 1.3MP digital camera capable of 4x zooming, photo effects, multi/mosaic shot, white balance, view finder and timer, while there is also MP3 player functionality, FM radio, video player, video recording capability, Java games, wallpapers for personalization, uTrack, voice memo, voice mail, flight mode, Bluetooth printing, Internet browser, and speakerphone.

The internal memory supports 20MB of user data and it is expandable via a microSD card.
It is a practical cell phone with 1,000 phone book entries, displaying call time, call costs, and the photo or video caller ID.
You can connect it to your computer via USB for file transfer, set a black/white user interface, and talk with your friends for up to 6.5 hours thanks to the standard 800mAh Li-Ion battery, which lasts 310 hours in standby mode.

The tri-band handset sports a 1.8-inch TFT LCD display with 65K colors. The standard black model is a mid-level cell phone available at prices around $150.
