Slough, UK (PRWEB) May 26, 2011

O2 today reveals the latest scores of its Eco rating scheme, highlighting the UKs most sustainable mobile phones. The Nokia C6-01 and E7-00 share the top spot with scores of 4.1 out of 5 and Nokia handsets comprise three of the top six best handsets.

According to Eco rating, the six most sustainable handsets currently being ranged by O2 are:

1st: Nokia C6-01, score 4.1/5

1st: Nokia E7-00, score 4.1/5

2nd: Samsung Galaxy Mini, score 4/5

2nd: Samsung Galaxy Ace, score 4/5

2nd: Sony Ericsson X8, score 4/5

2nd: Nokia C7-02, score 4/5

O2 launched Eco rating last August as part of its Think Big sustainability programme which aims to promote sustainable living through O2 products and services. Eco rating has been developed in partnership with independent sustainability experts Forum for the Future (http://www.forumforthefuture.org) to help customers make an informed decision when buying a mobile phone.

Under Eco rating, virtually every handset O2 sells is accorded a score out of 5 based on the environmental impact of the device, how it helps people lead more sustainable lives, and the ethical performance of the manufacturer. The scores are published online and on sales collateral in O2 stores. Eco rating is the only scheme of its kind to give customers the full picture from which to make their purchasing decision.

Although the environmental impact of a mobile phone may seem trivial when compared to say a car or fridge, when you consider the vast volumes of mobiles in circulation across the globe, their impact adds up, said Simon Lee-Smith, O2s Head of Devices. We know more and more customers want this level of product transparency and were very grateful to the handset manufacturers for their engagement with Eco rating.

BlackBerry handsets manufactured by RIM were added to Eco rating earlier this year. 90% of the devices ranged by O2 are included in the scheme.

Eco rating joins other environmental initiatives such as O2 Recycle under O2s Think Big sustainability programme which aims to enable customers to make a real difference for people and the planet. For more information, visit http://www.o2.co.uk/thinkbig.

O2s Sustainability team will be on Twitter at 14:00 BST this Friday, 27 May, to discuss all of O2s environmental initiatives. To take part, follow O2s Twitter account at

Eco ratings scoring system is based on data supplied by manufacturers.

WOWIO, Inc., the holder of a US Patent for providing targeted advertisements in electronic books and operator of several online destination sites that allow for the delivery of content based on measured consumer demographics and behavior, announced today a partnership with VGMarket to provide a loyalty program using WOWIO eBooks as rewards. WOWIOs books have been specifically branded within a number of VGMarkets premiere consumer categories such as Videogames, Travel & Leisure, Technology, Automotive, Health & Wellness, and Cell Phones, among others.

VGMarket, a leader in market research has built an ongoing partnership with WOWIO to use eBook media to incentivize survey-takers in online research panels. “WOWIOs use of eBooks as rewards provides tremendous value and relevance for the user while increasing the availability of unique digital content for our members, says Keith Leeman, Vice President, Online Services at VGMarket. WOWIOs embedded advertising in eBooks affords us a highly effective means of engaging with our members. This is a very exciting feature from WOWIO, and the partnership really fits with our companies shared philosophy of continuous innovation, particularly with digital media.

As part of our growth strategy, we are always looking for innovative ways to create marketing and advertising campaigns, using eBooks as the vehicle and sometimes, as in this case, as rewards as well, says Brian Altounian, WOWIOs CEO.
