The hard working guys over at mobilecrunch.com recently got to unbox the tasty new greener than green, eco friendly Samsung Reclaim. “In part composed of corn-based bio-plastics, the Reclaim is 80 percent recyclable.”

Now although this handset is made partially from Corn, the boys over at mobilecrunch soon discovered that it is not as edible as it looks and sounds. Yes they actually licked the handset and apparently the device tastes like “a phone — or more accurately, like a combination of bear mace and lysol”.

It’s great to see a manufacturer working on developing eco friendly green products and I am sure that soon other manufacturers will follow suit. fringsters there is still no word on when the Samsung Reclaim will come to South Africa, but be assured that we will keep you posted.

For the last month, people from all over Europe have been signing up for a chance to win 10,000 EUR and a date with Swedish pop star September. But this is no easy win. Contestants must attempt to be the last remaining dancer on the floor in a 24 hour dance-off, any interference, chat, call and you are out!

On July 7th, 100 lucky European contestants will get to represent their country in the ultimate dance-off. The Samsung Beat DJ mobile phone will provide the soundtrack for the competition which will test contestants’ endurance to its limit.

For decades we’ve delighted in judging Europe on their singing abilities; now lets see how they dance. Hailed as ‘The Eurovision DANCE contest’, The Last Call will push stamina, unveil bizarre local dance moves, and be the one time you don’t want to be popular.

fring is proud to provide live Twitter updates, from the event, using fring’s Twitter 2.0 Add-on, throughout the dance-off. A live video broadcast and the ongoing Twitter updates will be available for you on fring.com.

Watch the action unfold live, here on fring, July 7th.

Hold the phone, you mean there is a bigger handset? Yip continue reading… Sadly though for Sony Ericsson this world record is a thing of the past, Samsung together with cricket have just released a new contender for the worlds largset working mobile phone at Fidelity Plaza, Chicago, USA.

According to frings Indian Blogger Frazier: This new Samsung device measures an amazing “15 feet wide by 13 feet tall” wow! your device really is bigger than ours. Congratulations Samsung and crew. P.s Wouldn’t it be great if the next world record handset includes support for fring?
