What makes the T-Mobile Prepaid Motorola W233 Renew an eco-friendly and fun phone?

T-Mobile Prepaid Motorola W233 Renew It is eco-friendly because it is made from recycled materials and is certified carbon neutral. It’s fun because it has an mp3 music player, which is a really cool feature in a $30 prepaid phone!

Let’s start with the fun first, because, well it’s fun and save the important eco-friendly features for the finale.

MP3 Music Player

The W233 Renew is really a basic phone but it does have an MP3 music player, a really cool feature in a $30 prepaid phone! Now you can’t buy and download songs directly onto the phone, which is not such a bad thing. You have to upload the songs onto the phone directly or at least onto the microSD card.

Basic Features

Now let's cover some of the mundane yet useful details.

Compact and Lightweight

The open-face T-Mobile Prepaid Motorola W233 Renew is a compact, lightweight phone, weighing under 3 ounces and measuring just 4.4 inches in length.

Small Screen

Admittedly the screen is fairly small at 128 x 128 pixels, so even though you do have a web browser, you don’t really want to use it much.

Good Sound Quality

Sound Quality is pretty good. Motorola has put in a noise reduction technology which it is calling Signal Boost. On other phones, they have something called Crystal Talk. I’m not sure whether it’s the same technology, but in any case it should help making calls by adjusting the volume to the level of the surrounding noise.

Excellent Battery Life

The 940 mAh battery gives an excellent talk time of up to nine hours and a standby time of over 18 days. This is only fitting for the most eco-friendly phone.

Green, Eco-Friendly Phone

While the T-Mobile Prepaid Motorola W233 Renew Prepaid Motorola W233 Renew is a nice green on the outside, its claim to fame is that it’s a “green” eco-friendly phone, and it is.

Made from Recycled Plastic Bottles

The plastic housing of the T-Mobile Prepaid Motorola W233 Renew is made from recycled water bottles and can also be 100 percent recycled.

Ah, but you may ask, what about all the other environmental costs associated with this phone. These include manufacturing the phone, distributing it to its dealers and finally you, the user, operating the phone.

With Reduced Packaging

Motorola reduced some of these costs in creating the packaging. The reduced the size of the package and printed everything using recycled paper. And, of course, the ever-present mailing envelope form for recycling your previous phone is included. Still that doesn’t take care of all the costs, so Motorola got in touch with the Carbon Fund.

And Carbon Offset

Motorola offsets the additional environmental costs via investments in renewable energy resources and reforestation though the Carbon Fund. In fact, the W233 Renew was given the CarbonFree Product Certification after extensive testing.

Your Turn

All the eco-friendly packaging and carbon offsetting in the world won’t help unless the phone is a success.

That’s, ahem, where you come in. You can get it here direct from T-Mobile.
