Sprint has just released two devices today. The first one has been available elsewhere for a while now and it's the WiFi-only Motorola XOOM. Yup, still no 4G models. The other one is the eco-friendly Samsung Replenish which is running the Android OS along with a QWERTY keyboard. The XOOM is available now for $599, while the Replenish is going for $49.99 on a 2-year contract.

Android has finally gone green. Sprint officially announced the Samsung Replenish today which runs Android 2.2 and is an eco-friendly handset made of recycled plastic, recyclable packaging, and an optional solar charging battery cover. This will be available on the carrier starting on May 8th for $49.99 on a 2-year contract after rebates. The handset itself sports a 2.8-inch touchscreen display with a 240 x 320 resolution, a 600MHz CPU, 256MB of RAM, a 2MP camera, WiFi / Bluetooth support, and Sprint ID. Check it out on Sprint.

PocketNow has a great track record with getting official pictures of phones before they're launched and they're back at it again. What you're looking at here is the Samsung Replenish which should be hitting Sprint on May 5th. Earlier today we heard that Dan Hesse is holding a "green" event tomorrow so that could be when this handset gets official.

Rumoured specs for this one include a 2.8-inch touchscreen display, a 600MHz CPU, a portrait QWERTY keyboard, a 2MP camera, a QVGA display, and Android 2.2 "Froyo". Phone Scoop has mentioned that this handset is made out of recycled plastic and will also come in pink, blue, as well as black colours.

We heard about the Samsung Replenish a few days ago but it was rumoured to be a feature phone. New details have trickled in and this is now rumoured to be a "green" Android handset from the company running the Android OS. The press release is reportedly on April 15th with the launch set for May 5th. That's all we know for now but maybe there'll be a solar panel on it or something because it's going to have to "replenish" in some way.
