Samsung first announced its eco-friendly Blue Earth phone at the Barcelona-based Mobile World Congress in February. It's been awhile since the announcement, but we finally got to spend a little personal time with the solar-powered handset here at CommunicAsia 2009 in Singapore.

Get ready for some frantic hand action in our, well, hands-on video. Fret not, we were just testing to see how many calories we've burned.
