The latest Android 2.3 smartphone coming to Verizon’s line-up is the Samsung Illusion. The touchscreen phone features SWYPE to help users text quickly, a zippy 1 GHz processor, and a 3-megapixel camera. It also has the ability to share its 3G connection with up to five other WiFi-enable devices. This phone should appeal to those who are passionate about the environment since the back casing and battery cover are made from 70 percent post-consumer material, while 35 percent of the front casing is made up of post-consumer material. The cell phone will be available this week.
