Orange UK is now being highly innovative – it has introduced this novel concept of Mini-SIMs. The term “Mini-SIM” does not refer to the SIM card’s size. If that had been done, the card wouldn’t fit into the slot meant for it, right? This actually implies the material that keeps the SIM in good condition, until its sale. Usually this is the size of a credit card, but now, Orange have reduced its size by half.
Considering the zillions of SIMs made globally, this move saves a hell lot of plastic and could make a huge impact if every operator followed the same route too. Orange has also come up with some other Green alternatives, which include using the universal mobile charger, handset recycling and so on.

We had told you just a couple of days ago about Sprint getting the BlackBerry Curve in two very different colors (click here to read original post). Here is one of the smartphone, in Inferno Orange. Take a look at it. This one is now available in the market.
You will realize from the pic below that this smartphone is strictly meant only and only for those who like a little too much flamboyance and drama in their daily lives. Of course, you also get to make a very unusual and bold statement with this kinda device. Imagine carrying this along to major exec meetings or power lunches – worse – to power dinners!
