The estimated percentage of cellphones that were recycled in 2007.
The EPA estimated that of the 126.3 million cellphones disposed of in 2007, only 14 million -- about 10 percent -- were recycled. The rest? Landfill heaven. (source: EPA, July 2008)

so let me get this straight... this has a 850/1700/1900 AWS/3G/EVDO or whatevercrap this has. so how exactly does this work on 850/1900 bands. as far as i can see the only speed faster than cdma that this fone will ever use is the 1700 AWS band. my question is: why the f*** do they have the other att 3g bands on it? bragging rights?
Um...Why do you get the idea that the 850/1900MHz band is native to AT&T? Verizon uses the same 850/1900MHz bands as AT&T. Only difference is the technology that each company is using! AT&T uses GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA on the 850/1900MHz bands, while Verizon uses CDMA/1xRTT/EvDO on the 850/1900MHz bands. If you haven't noticed also, Sprint and T-Mobile both own spectrum on the 1900MHz bands natively. T-Mobile added AWS 1700MHz licenses to their inventory list back in 2006. T-Mobile owns spectrum now on the AWS 1700MHz band and the GSM 1900MHz band, while Sprint(not including Nextels network) only owns 1900MHz spectrum.
So get your facts straight before you say why are they using AT&Ts bands.
i can understand his confusion considering cdma is usually referred to as being on 800mhz. what i dont understand is why the phone has 1700 if it doesnt have edvo? so are we implying 1700 will be used for voice on cdma networks? i mostly expected carriers to go with 1700 for data. roaming into a 1700 voice area would suck for the 99% - 100% of customers who only have 800/1900 phones
