Nokia announces with the Nokia 3110 Evolve a ‘Green’ cell phone. The 3110 Evolve is one of the Finland-based firm’s most eco-friendly handsets to date and is made of more than 50 percent renewable, organic material. It also comes in a box made of 60 percent recyclable products and consumes 94 percent less power than the Energy Star guidelines would demand, coming with a smart charger that cuts off power once the phone battery is full. The 3110 is nonetheless a full-featured phone with a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and a microSD slot for storing AAC, MP3, or WMA tracks and H.264/MPEG-4 video. Pricing has not been listed, though the tri-band phone with EDGE Internet access is focused on Europe and is not immediately expected to reach North America.

Two wired stereo headsets also accompany the Evolve. The WH-600 is a simple over-the-ear headset with padded cups and an in-line microphone that also manages calls and volume; in turn, the WH-700 provides the same features with in-ear buds. Both have standard 3.5mm headphone jacks that work with nearly any device and should be ready by January at prices of 65 Euros ($95) and 50 Euros ($73) respectively.
