Nokia has for a long time now, made a firm commitment towards creating green mobile phones, which means; not using any environmentally unfriendly materials such as PVC, brominates, chlorinated materials, or antimony trioxide in their mobile phones. So it comes as no surprise that their flag ship mobile the N9 can be easily recycled/destroyed as it uses LOTS of safe materials. Extra greeny bits are the thoughts behind the packaging. Manufacturers often drop the baby here, but not Nokia’s flag ship mobile: 77% of it packaging is made from recycled materials. They’ve also kept the packaging to a minimum by packing it tightly in, in the first place. So when it arrives in the post don’t expect a shoe box full of nothing.
Check this out:
The cardboard package: 134 mm x Width: 80 mm x Height: 74 mm
The size of the N9: 117 mm x Width: 61 mm x Height: 8-12 mm
Driven by Nokia's very own MeeGoo operating system. It has installed, near field communication technology. A power save mode to let you know when it’s finished charging and an AC-16 USB fast Nokia charger, nice.
With an all screen design, the phone doesn’t have a home button so you have to use a ‘swipe’ gesture to take you back to the main screen. Usual techno bits are the 3.9" AMOLED screen, 16/64 GB storage, 1 GB RAM and it weighs 135 g. Stand by time is an impressive 450 hours when you use 3G, the N9 has an 8 MP camera, fronted by Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus, dual LED flash and it comes in Black, Cyan, Magenta.
And if you wanted to make less of environmental impact by using the N9, Nokia say that over three years using the N9 is apparently equivalent to driving a family car only 60 miles, sadly though it doesn’t look as if it’s coming to the UK.
