moto renewIF you’re a T-Mobile customer looking for a new phone AND you’re looking to be a bit “green” in your life, then you’ll want to check out the newly announced MOTO W233 Renew handset now available at T-Mobile. Exclusively available only at T-Mobile, this candy-bar shaped handset has a plastic housing made of recycled water bottles which also happens to be completely recyclable.

Ahh but the greenness doesn’t stop there with the Renew. Somewhat true to the name, Motorola considers the Renew the world’s first ever “carbon-neutral mobile phone” – a device that “renews”. How does it gain such a status? Motorola will offset the carbon dioxide required to manufacture, distribute, and operate the phone through investments in renewable energy sources and reforestation – thereby renewing the resources consumed in making the phone available to consumers.  No a bad idea (let’s see if it’s executed well though).

Other “green” features of the phone include:

  • 9 hour talk time for conserving power consumption
  • Phone packaging and in-box materials made of 100 percent post-consumer recycled paper
  • Includes prepaid shipping envelope for customers to use to recycle their old device

Other features and specs to the MOTO Renew include:

  • Noise reduction with speaker boost
  • Built-in music player
  • Text messaging support
  • microSD slot
  • Picture messaging
  • myFaves support
  • Speakerphone capable
  • Speed dial, vibrating alert, alarm clock, calculator, and calendar
  • Measures 4.4 x 0.6 x 1.8 inches and weighs 3 oz
  • 9 hour talk time and 18.75 day standby time

The MOTO W233 Renew is available today at a price of $9.99 with a new two year agreement ($59.99 minus a $50 dollar discount).
