AT&T announces the Samsung Evergreen messaging phone. The Samsung Evergreen is saving earth's resources as it is made from 70% recycled post-consumer plastics. The Evergreen has a 2.4-inch display, full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 2MP camera, Bluetooth 2.1, dual-band 3G and quad-band GSM. You almost can use this phone in all countries around the world.

The Samsung Evergreen will be available beginning November 7 for $29.99 after $50 mail-in rebate (pay $79.99 and after mail-in rebate receive $50 AT&T Promotion Card. Two-year agreement and $20 a month messaging or combination of messaging/data plan required).

To celebrate the launch of the Evergreen, Samsung Mobile announced it will donate $1 for every device sold, with a maximum donation of $100,000, to the non-profit organization Cell Phones for Soldiers. Cell Phones for Soldiers was founded by teenagers Robbie and Brittany Bergquist from Norwell, Mass., with $21 of their own money. Since then, the registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization has raised millions of dollars in donations and distributed millions of prepaid calling cards to soldiers serving overseas. Samsung Mobile and AT&T encourage consumers to give back to both the environment and to the armed forces serving overseas.
