I'm a spokesman for Sprint. This personal site is where I share news stories and my views about our company, our phones and other devices. I also write a bit about tech policy, the wireless industry and life in Washington, D.C.

Will this make it easier for you to recycle?
I'm more than appalled that anyone would spend $325,000 for a cell phone. But I do hope that the buyer of said phone recycles their old phone. (April is CTIA's Month of Green. And just last week, we observed the National Cell Phone Recycling Week, you know.)
Sprint will take your old phone and recondition it or recycle it and use the proceeds from the sale to help finance an Internet safety program for kids.

If you're like me, you've got a ton of these cables sitting a box in a closet somewhere. They came with old VCR or DVD players that were long ago replaced, but somehow they're orphaned now.
This slideshow explains what each kind of cable is used for. It also recommends sources for new cables should you need them. If you like gadgets like we do, take a look. This will be helpful. (Oh and about those orphaned cables, consider recycling them, that will give you more space in your closet and keep electronics waste out of landfills.
