There really is no excuse not to recycle your old mobile

Today SellMyMobile.com has launched some new and improved features to the website that includes an improved search facility and an enhanced comparison engine.

The search box on the site has been significantly improved to give faster and better search results.

The comparison engine has been enhanced to give a much more comprehensive comparison of the various phone buyers we feature on the site.

Now, here is an app I’m going to love. Yesterday, Google announced the launch of their new mobile phone search interaction tool – the Gesture Search. In lieu of a press or speech-driven search, you can now draw your way towards what you’re looking for. For instance, if you want to phone Michael, draw an [...]

Last summer, all one of my friends could go on about was getting his new mobile. His contract was ending and he was dead excited about getting a new phone – which, of course, he’d had picked out for several months already. However, when he went into sign a new contract, things had been changed. Oh, not the phone offering – he would still get the phone he wanted – but the contract terms. So, he tried to negotiate.

It’s been a long, cold winter and I am really beginning to feel the weight of it. What I need is a break; a change of scenery. Just one night away from home, spent in warmth and a bit of luxury to recharge my batteries and refresh my outlook on life. Recycling my mobile could help give me that.
I think we’re all tired of the winter. It’s been one of the longest in awhile – and one of the coldest. The novelty of snow has worn off. The fun of pulling out the winter jumpers and hats is over. The excitement of holidays is long since passed and now, the dark days are really getting to us. It’s the final push before spring. It’s time for a break.

On my desk sits a sleek, hot, fashionable, all-the-bells-and-whistles mobile phone. It goes where I go, is on whether I am awake or asleep, and everyone has the number. In my desk drawer is a Samsung E1120 from Orange – for which I paid £10 at Asda. There’s no contract attached, it’s pay-as-you-go, so I don’t feel pressure to carry or use it. In fact most of the time, it’s in my drawer. But I’ve very glad to have it.

This morning as I was pottering about, I was thinking about this blog and the different things you could buy if you recycled your mobile phone for cash. And that led me to think about my cardigan. It’s new. It’s awesome. And it’s an ideal type of thing to trade in a mobile phone for. Here’s the back-story:

I am a huge fan of Nokia phones. But, even I must admit that Nokia – the largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world – has become a bit of the old aunt in today’s mobile phone market. While it’s low-end and middle-road mobiles are still doing quite well, when it comes to cutting-edge Smartphone offerings, Nokia just doesn’t stack up against the likes of Google and Apple. But, Nokia seems comfortable with that. Perhaps their vision is elsewhere?

While Google has been in the mobile phone business by way of the Android OS and its plethora of amazing applications (through Android Market) for awhile, the Nexus One—launched last month in the USA—is its first hardware offering.

I would think that it only the most stubborn of us who hasn’t felt the twinge of guilt that comes from not being conscientious enough about helping the environment. When we throw a bottle into the rubbish bin, when we know it should have gone to recycling. When we leave the tap on as we brush our teeth, knowing that we should turn it off until we’re ready to rinse. Every little thing we fail to do hurts; and while it may be just a drop in the ocean from our perspective—we must remember, it is those drops that an ocean is made from.
