It seems mobile operators and now their handset suppliers are starting to take the environment into consideration — three by our reckoning, and in only a couple months — by doing favors for ol’ mother nature. Alcatel, working in conjunction with Carbon Footprint has tweaked the packaging of its new device line and made it three times smaller. This is of course environmentally pleasant from an energy consumed perspective, reduced shipping costs, and in shrinking the piles on the desks at Engadget Mobile. Packaging is useful for shipping, but if you’re picking up your mobile at a corporate store, the handset, a CD, and whatever cables are required really is enough. Thank you Alcatel, from the very bottoms of our hearts — now if only somebody would work on the impossible-to-open-without-a-saw shrink packaging.
