We’ve seen providers getting all green, and now it seems at least one of the big handset makers has seen fit to try a more earth-friendly approach. Samsung’s W510 and F268 sets, announced today at the World IT Show in Seoul, both feature a couple little dashes of greenery, and are a decent first effort we’d wager.

The W510 is made from a “bio-plastic” created with natural materials extracted from corn and its manufacturing process skips the use of lead, mercury, and other miserable ingredients. The F268 and its accessories don’t contain any brominated flame retardants or PVC, and the handset features an alarm to let you know when it’s charged and can be unplugged from the wall, we like this one best, because while definitely green you could still brag a bit about it.
