If you prefer a simpler sort of phone gadget, the Motorola Renew might be just the ticket. The Motorola Renew is the first phone made of recycled products, made from plastic comprised of recycled bottles.  Twenty percent less energy is used during production, compared to standard plastic processes. The Motorola W233 Renew is also the world’s first carbon neutral phone.

Moreover, the Motorola Renew comes with an in-box postage-paid recycling envelope so that you can ship off your prior phone for recycling.

So is there a downside to this eco-friendly technology? Well, if you’re the iPhone type of user, don’t expect to replace your fancy, schmancy multimedia phone with the Motorola Renew, as its list of features are far more limited.

The Motorola Renew will supposedly launch in February 2009, with T-Mobile USA as the first carrier to subsidize it.
