Alfa  by PiZero is still under construction and isn't available yet but this green toned theme of spring with beautiful wallpaper of tall grass in Vi... .. .

International environmental organization Greenpeace has published its fourteenth Guide to Greener Electronics, and Finnish mobile phone giant continues to lead Greenpeace's list, with a score of 7.3 out of 10.

Sony Ericsson follows closely, and is the only company to score full marks on all the toxic chemicals criteria.
