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)

I dont really intend to sound like a jerk but GPRS? Seriously?
Does anyone know why they are using GPRS instead of EDGE or UMTS? I was going to purcahse one of these, but GPRS is worthless for me.
"Does anyone know why they are using GPRS instead of EDGE or UMTS?"
Yes, this project has been in the works for two years or so, its very difficult to add in a giant feature like EDGE right in the middle of development. Adding in EDGE would have added months to a project that was already many months behind schedule. The community has been waiting patiently since the middle of last year for this phone to come out, any further delay would be unnecessary.
That said, if this project is as successful as I hope it is (the 900mhz model is already sold out), the next phone should have EDGE. Keep an eye out.
