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)

OHHH NOOOOOO!!!!
If you're going to make a fake, at least make it look better than the original iPhone. The easiest way to tell if it's a fake is "That thing is ugly. Next."
By the way, the reflection isn't misaligned; the note is folded over at the top, which is what is being reflected.
doenst look ugly to me, idk wut to make of these pics tho...
Hey people... thats not misaligned at all. The CD isn't the reflection, the letter sticking out is....
This is the real thing OMG!!! Looks nice and real to me.
Looks so real but it would have been better with a screen shot of the actual UI turned on. It's only 2 days away. I'm sure we can all wait...patiently!
I can has more?
This looks like the real deal!!
the reflection isn't misaligned, it's reflecting the letter not the cd. The chances of this being real are pretty slim though. The object itself is real, but it could just as easily be a mockup made to look like a 3g iPhone. Anyone will post anything to get hits.
For som reason Ricker's comments appear "tongue-in-check". The reflection comes from the covering over the box containing the iPhone. The software CD's, Terms and Conditions letter, etc., all say this is the new iPhone; albeit a dummy unit. And is probably not the only "flavor" in which it will be offered.
