Want Green Cell Phone Goods? Solar Bluetooth, Recycled Tire Case
Credo Mobile, the green phone division of Working Assets, has two new accessories it started touting on Tuesday. The San Francisco-based company that gives a portion of its phone plan revenues to charities has started offering its subscribers a solar-powered Bluetooth headset from Iqua, and a phone case made out of recycled tires from Better Energy Systems.
Credo Mobile says it’s the first phone company to offer these goods. The phone company, which tells us they have around 50,000 mobile subscribers, has been trying to add the latest hip accessories in an effort to boost its user base.
Iqua’s Solar Bluetooth Headset: Iqua, of Finland, was founded by a group of former Nokia executives to design wireless accessories. Its headset uses a photovoltaic solar cell to charge the device, and Credo’s offering it for $99. We haven’t tested it out but it got a pretty good review from CNET when it came out last November.
Tread Cell Phone Case: The UK-based startup Better Energy Systems is well-known for their Solio solar charger, but they also sell these gadget cases made from recycled tires off of Colombian banana trucks. For real. They’re branded as the Tread cases and Credo’s selling the cell phone version for $25.
Man that bluetooth looks so cool. Hopefully it is more than just pleasing to the eyes!
The only true way to practice sustainability when it comes to cell phones is to buy them used. Zendoo.com has the worlds largest selection of used cell phones. Save your Planet and Save your Money.

Sir
Hello am call Lawsamba Donald Nyanyoh from Cameroon.
Am interested to invite interested company or supplier to come and run big business in Cameroon.
Sir I call it big business because Cameroon has a big problem with energy or if not all area and ends but there are mobile network ranges there or could be install there and this make up a big market for your products
My contribution will be to help the company or supplier get all that is needed to operate in Cameroon as I can get to top ranking government offices because I have some relation with atlest one of them.
Sir my concern will be to have myself doing something and get just a percentage in each product sold.
