Sprint and Samesung launch a biodegradable cell phone

On August 16, Sprint and Samsung put an "eco-conscious" cell phone on the market. What makes this "green" phone biodegradable is its 40 percent corn-based plastic cover. The charger also lights up when it's fully charged to save electricity. How much do these phones go for? Only $50 with a 2-year contract after the mail-in rebate.
