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)

AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) today announced that, in the next month, the company will deploy High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) technology in the six remaining markets across AT&T's entire 3G (third-generation) wireless broadband network. When done, AT&T will have completed its deployment of HSUPA technology, which complements existing HSDPA technology (High Speed Downlink Packet Access), making AT&T the only U.S. carrier to have fully deployed HSPA technology in its 3G network.
Today the superfast AT&T 3G network is available in more than 275 markets. By year-end, the AT&T 3G network will be available in nearly 350 markets.

So, by the above quote from RTFA, it says that if you have HSDPA now, you should have HSPA when the six remaining markets are closed. And looks like they're adding another 75 markets in the near future too. I need to tether my phone and see what speeds I get, even though I generally force my phone to EDGE because the battery usage on HSDPA is more than double that of when on EDGE. Ah well.
