The percentage of electronics at the end of their lives which were recycled.
The EPA found that the percentage remained consistent from 1999-2005. Even as recycling rates went up, the amount of electronics reaching end of life outpaced the increase, leaving the figure static. (source: EPA, July 2008)
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
With VzW, you don't need WIFI. VzW doesn't have "hot spots", they've got coverage.
That looks big and clunky, but I'll have to check the specs.
I've gotten used to my Blackberry 8830 on Verizon, which works when I'm in Europe. I don't think I could go back to a "CDMA-only" phone. I wish they had more dual-mode phones available.
just another attempt to look cool by verizon. of course by releasing more garbage. ithought the iphone would idontknow beef up the icompetition? anywho, verizon is obviously the epitome of tough love with consumers & locking everything you deserve in a purchase (when it comes to gadgets). but you get what you pay for with verizon (great service & butchered, overly price phones). go figure...
Dear Verizon,
Give me wifi on a decent phone for f**k's sake!
seconded.
Just upgraded to the SMT5800 from the Treo 700W...with all the discounts (Advanced device, online, new every 2) it cost $49.99. Not a bad price - we'll see how it performs in a few days.
How did you get it for 49, please explain in more detail, im looking at it, it looks like 349 -100 for 2 year upgrade - 100 for unlimited - 50 mir
interested in this phone because of size and external number buttons. want to use it for email, text, data and to tether my laptop. have wireless aircard now. do you tether? is this as fast? really don't want phone service. I need a constant open bluetooth line. this would be a second device.
It says: "a microSD slot for packing up to 8GB" does that mean SanDisk's newly announced 12GB microSD cards will need new card readers? Or was it just overlooked?
Overlooked I'm thinking and hoping.
12 gig micro for a phone...curious why (other than doing what one can to find a flaw) would anyone need that extra 4 gigs?
Wasn't there a SMT5600?
I was hoping to buy a Vox or Libra this summer, but non of the carriers had it, so I bought a Dash instead. If this had been out at the time, it would have been very tempting.
Wow, how small do they like their buttons?
No wifi = fail.
