Mini Review
Did you know that the electricity wastage by just one mobile phone per year is 2.8 KW? Worldwide, every quarter, upwards of 250 million mobile phones are shipped out of which approximately 16 million are Symbian devices. Even a small amount of savings in electricity through efficient charging and usage of mobiles will go a long way in making our planet greener. Its also worth noting that the mobile charger consumes electricity as long as its plugged in to the wall socket even when its not charging the mobile device.
Impetus Technologies has created an an energy-saving utility for Symbian S60 mobile phones called Green Charging to do its part in slowing down Global Warming. Green Charging enables users to save power by notifying the user when the phone is fully charged so that they don’t overcharge mobiles and they also unplug the charger from the socket.
When the phone’s being charged, an electric plug icon is displayed on the top right corner of the screen. The Battery charge status, Standby time and Talk time of the mobile are also displayed on the screen.
In addition to alerting the user, Green Charging’s help has some interesting facts about electricity wastage and battery saving tips that are practical and effective for every mobile phone user.

Green Charging is available for the S60 devices in the Ovi store for 3 Euros. You can get the URL via SMS to your mobile to download it. The Ovi store application automatically installs the application after purchase.
Conclusion
Green Charging does what it promises. Its Good Stuff and I’ll give it 4 of 5.
Green Charging is one among the Top 5 short-listed Apps to pitch for the 2010 GSMA Mobile Innovation Grand Prix-APAC Tournament.

2.8 KW? I think perhaps you mean 2.8KW hours.
