Nokia’s environmental team has rolled out its second video of the ‘Easy To Be Green’ campaign. This time the focus is on using a single converged Nokia device to do multiple tasks. Lugging around MP3 players, digital cameras, laptops and navigators is hard work to say the least, and powering all these devices is a huge task in itself. Switching to an all-in-one Nokia smartphone can remove all this hassle, and also stay kind to the environment. To put it into perspective, if only ten percent of the one billion plus Nokia users used their mobile phone as a do-it-all device, we could avoid over 25 million tons on CO2 emissions per year. Check out the video after the jump to see what carrying a single all-in-one device does for the environment.

The Nokia BH-607 Bluetooth Headset is Nokia’s latest bluetooth headset which has Advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and two built-in microphones. The in-ear headset sports acoustic wind noise reduction and has support for Advanced Multipoint, which allows you to connect it with more than one device. It’s also the first of its kind to sport My Own Key, which enables you to assign a specific function to one of the keys. I’ve been using the headset for the past month now and thought I’d fill you in on how we got on. So check out my thoughts, along with an extensive gallery for your viewing pleasure, after the jump.

The guys from Nokia’s environmental team have put together a series of videos to show us how using our mobile devices can help us have less impact on the environment. Some interesting stats include how updating your Facebook status once on your PC consumes the same amount of energy as updating it a hundred times on your phone. To put that into perspective, if only ten percent of the one billion plus Nokia users, surfed the web on their mobile instead of their desktop computer for one hour a day, we could avoid over 2.7 million tons on CO2 emissions per year. Check out the video after the jump to see what kind of difference browsing on your mobile makes.

Nokia seems to be making some good headway with its Point & Find project, and today, at a media briefing in San Francisco, Nokia decided to show off its progress. Nokia Point & Find is a free service that enables people on the move to access relevant information and services on the Internet, simply by pointing their mobile phone camera at a real life object. The service combines the first mobile augmented reality browser on S60 devices with a web-based content management tool that allows anyone to create and publish augmented reality experiences. Check out the cool demo after the break.
