In this day and age of “greener” products, several are going to be showing “eco friendly” products at the Mobile World Congress 2009 in Barcelona. Samsung is one, and now it appears that LG have stepped up to the line by preparing to launch a line of “eco friendly” mobile phones.

We’re not too sure what LG is calling these mobile handsets but the word is they will have a handset that can charge directly from the sun and will come in a green packaging.

Apparently the solar battery will deliver three minutes of talk time for every then minutes of sunlight charge, which probably means avoiding using this particular handset when overcast. Also apparently LG will be printing their manuals on recycled paper using a soy based ink.
