Nokia N79 Eco variant for the environmentally conscious

Nokia N79 Eco

After releasing a variant of the N79 for fitness enthusiasts on Wednesday, Nokia has announced the N79 Eco for the environmentally conscious. The phone is shipped in a smaller box and does not include a charger with the hope that customers will re-use chargers that they already own. For each purchase, Nokia will donate 4 GBP to the WWF.

The Eco is currently only available as a European variant, featuring quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz) and dual-band UMTS (900/2100MHz) with HSDPA for high-speed data. It includes onboard A-GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0 and a microSD memory slot. It comes in petrol black with dark gray, steel gray, and deep plum covers. The N79 Eco is available for pre-order at Nokia's Online Shop UK for 319 GBP (US$477). [via EngadgetMobile]
