New mobile, new life
It hasn't been an easy task trying to find the perfect upgrade for Nuz, Chris, Sally and Nick, but we've finally managed to do it. Nuz went for the pink LG Chocolate phone because, she said, "It looks brilliant and I love the glowing red buttons on the front. None of my mates laugh at me now and they're all going to get this phone."
Chris went for the Sony Ericsson K800i because, he said, "I'm really impressed with how good the camera on this thing is and the xenon flash means that I can take close-up pictures in low light."
Sally went for the Sony Ericsson W850i because, she said, "The music player is really good and with the 3.5mm adaptor I can use my own headphones. I also really like the flashing orange light on the front -- it's a bit of a gimmick, but it looks cool."
Nick went for the T-Mobile MDA Vario II because, he said, "The big screen and Qwerty keypad make browsing the Internet and accessing my emails easy. Now I can sort out my emails on the train and when I get to the office I can really focus on berating these workshy journalists about their sloppiness."
There are an estimated 90 million unwanted mobile phones and PDAs lying around in the UK, and recycling your phone helps protect your environment. Anyone thinking about upgrading their phone should recycle it with a company such as ActionAid or Envirofone, so that it doesn't end up in a dump or unused in a drawer.
