It's always great to see a company giving back to the community and helping the environment. Credo Mobile is also something to check into. They are a cell phone service provider who donates 1% of your monthly charges to progressive nonprofit groups. They'll even pay your termination fee at your current cell phone provider to get you to switch over. This is a great service!

We were excited to read this post. It's great to see the light shine on this growing industry. Right now a mere 12% of electronic waste actually gets recycled and we're proud to be a part of making it easy and rewarding for folks to recycle responsibly. Second Rotation (http://www.secondrotation.com/) is a one-stop shop. It’s the fast, safe, practical way for people to recycle and get cash for all of their used consumer electronics – not just cell phones. One point though -- we're actually offering more for an 8GB iPhone. Right now Second Rotation is offering $200 for a phone in 'excellent' condition (up to $235 for a 16GB and $165 for a 4GB.)

They already have fabulously more interesting knock-offs for sale at reasonable prices. Maybe ex-pats in China who don't want to pay import prices and don't know enough Chinese to wade through the black market will want them. I doubt China wants these.

They take your old iPhone, pay you $190, and then sell it to China (which is not getting the new one, although Japan is) for $300! (at least that's my theory anyways). Better idea? Sell your old iPhone to a T-Mobile customer (who will be unable to get the new 3G phone in the US) and use the money to buy a new phone. Sounds like a plan if you ask me! Ingenius!
