  3. Its all about green these days, which is great. The question is how "green" is the technology thats being called "green". From my perspective, theres something skeptikal.

  4. Is this phone available in the US? If so, which service providers will offer?

    I can't tell you how many times I have run out of a charge in the middle of the day with no charger or had a wall charger and no outlet. Being in sales…it's been quite a few times.
