Before your Mobile’s Worth Goes Down, Recycle it!

According to statistics, the average resident in the UK upgrades or replaces their mobile phone every eighteen months. Just imagine the number of mobile phones that go to waste, considering the current population of the UK. What this means is that most old cell phones end up in the bin, rather than being processed in a recycling centre, contributing waste that ultimately ends up in a landfill.

Thankfully, there is a solution to all of this waste: recycle your old mobile phone! Not only will it help in protecting the environment, but it will also line your pockets with extra cash; your phone can either be resold or will be disposed of in the correct manner in a recycling plant.

On the off chance you are curious to know how the disposal process works, well – the company generally segregates the various phone components such as batteries and other toxic material to dispose of them in an eco-friendly way. Plastic and other components are melted down so that they can be reformed into new products. Some newer model cell phones can be reused still and bought by someone who needs a cheaper phone or wishes to upgrade from an existing one.

When a mobile phone becomes outdated and cannot be resold, the worth of the mobile phone is completely lost. In these cases, while you will not receive any cash for recycling your obsolete phone, you can rest safe in the knowledge that you are helping to protect the environment.

Mobile Phone Utility Optimized

Mobile phones are mostly designed keeping their visual appeal in mind, but this is not the case with Sonim XP5300 Force 3G, which is more function and usability oriented.

Being an owner of a phone that you can easily work with is more important than having one that just matches your t-shirt’s colour. The Sonim XP5300 is a mobile phone meant for rough and tough guys and girls as it can withstand trials like a drop from two meters height on to a concrete surface or a stay under two meters of water for up to an hour. It has Corning Gorilla glass which prevents it from damage due to shock and scratches. Furthermore, the keys on this phone are spaced out enough for use even with the gloves on. It is evident that this phone was created keeping the workers at road work and construction sites in mind.

The under water survival feature of this phone also makes it the perfect option for moms having small kids. After all, it is quite common to hear stories of young ones dropping their mothers’ phones in water. Last week I heard of a mobile phone dropped in after by a two year old, so it is not uncommon. A tough phone like Sonim XP5300 will also save you from incurring insurance and replacement expenses.

If you have a working phone and have decided to upgrade to the Sonim XP5300, do not forget to have your old mobile phone recycled. Trading it will also fetch you some handy cash that can be used towards the purchase of the new phone.

Galaxy Note – Samsung’s Mobile Tablet Hybrid Launched at IFA

Last Thursday, Samsung introduced it’s hybrid of a mobile and a tablet PC at the IFA, held in Berlin.
The device’s size is almost half of a normal tablet PC and two times the size of a regular SmartPhone. This led to Samsung developing a brand new technology category.
DJ Lee, global head of marketing and sales and executive vice president at Samsung justified this new initiative stating that it is targeted primarily at the market segment that uses small notebooks to jot down ideas. For their use, Samsung has provided a special stowaway stylus to help them in drawing, note taking and screen capturing.
Samsung’s Galaxy Note runs Gingerbread 2.3 and is an Android device. It has a 5.3 inches 1280 x 800 Super AMOLED touch screen. Other features of the device are a removable 2500mAh battery, 1.4 GHz processor, 2MP and 8MP dual cameras, HSPA+ and LTE. Furthermore, it is light (178gms) and thin (9.65mm).
The operating system comes with TouchWiz and 7 home screens that have been designed to make the best use of the stylus (named ‘S Pen’ by the manufacturers). Programmes included in the hybrid are the S Planner, a to-do list app and a native calendar. It is quite easy to drag and drop applications without the need of opening up an entry.
Samsung is not yet certain about the first place that will receive Galaxy Note, so it will be sometime since we know about its availability in the United Kingdom.

IFA becomes the Launching Pad for Samsung’s New Mobile Tablet Hybrid

Last Thursday IFA was held in Berlin, and the event witnessed the introduction of a tablet mobile hybrid from Samsung. The newly launched device is two times the size of a normal Smartphone and half the size of a regular tablet PC. This made Samsung develop an altogether new category of technology.

As informed by the executive VP and Global head of marketing and sales for Samsung, DJ Lee, this new device has been created to meet the specific requirements of a market segment that carries mini notebooks to make note of ideas. To this end, the hybrid device features a stowaway stylus to help users in drawing, note taking and taking screen captures.

In addition, it is an Android device running on Gingerbread 2.3. Other features include a 5.3 inches touch screen that is 1280 x 800 Super AMOLED, a removable 2500mAh battery, dual cameras at 2MP and 8MP, HSPA+ and LTE and a 1.4 GHz processor. It is quite thin at 9.65mm and light as well, weighing a mere 178gms.
The Android OS in the device has seven home screens and TouchWiz to optimise the advantages offered by the stylus device (named ‘S Pen’ by the manufacturers). A native calendar, a to-do list app and an S Planner are some of the programmes included. Furthermore, the appointments can be dragged and dropped in a hassle-free manner without the need of opening up an entry.
Samsung is still undecided about the place of introducing Galaxy Note first. Hence, it will take some time for us to know about its availability in the UK.
