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 see what you did there...

Meh, andrioid looks good, but i'm not too thrilled yet. Call me when HTC anounnces a handset...
HTC has handsets, and lots of them.
Drivers however.....
If they'd put Android on an HTC Touch (for Sprint) i'd buy it in a heartbeat. (assuming Android doesn't en up sucking.)
Because the hardware, while not nearly as smooth or powerful as an iphone, is really attractive... but the Touch's OS is a total turd. ....Android to the rescue? HTC Touch 2, with android, on Sprint..
...a man can dream.
What are the chances! i googled "google phone" today for the first time in about 6 months, and whats the top story today? google phone! yes. that was a nice 4 seconds.
As long as it's touch screen it's good.
Is Android only 1 flavor unlike Windows Mobile with 2 (or is it 3?) versions?
Will it play Doom?
whats the point of saying that. everything plays doom now.
wanna get low ranked?
-say the doom crap.
i'm still waiting for the Banana Phone
Ring Ring Ring Banana phone...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wky5H1xC6-I
It's got to be a touch screen! I want the size of the itouch (if not smaller) but with the slide out keyboard.
ok this is an itouch

i think you mean iPod Touch......
I hope it will play HD-DVD. I haven't had the time to read any other news articles today, but I assume this phone is the top story.
I wonder who will release a functioning SDK first - Google or Apple?
Google.

I wonder who will be the first to release a functional SDK for a device that exists...
Personally, I wouldnt mind buying something like this when my 1yr comes around this October (free phones every year! great promo!).
The only thing is, I have Verizon. I have a feeling that we will see Android phones on Verizon, I just dont think they will come this year.
Even if they do, I will have to see how well done they are. If they are crappy and restricted a ton by Verizon, then Ill go Windows Mobile. (right now I have an enV, and its pretty nice for the most basic of Smart Phone functions like Notes, Calendar, and mobile web (though not real web)).
It will be even longer waiting for this to come to Sprint
Nojok3, we got the palm centro before att!
oh, wait.
i own it and use it every day, but i'd rather have something else. its great that they got a phone before ATT, but this is a poor show. top of the line sprint phone = middle of the line att phone. glad i got EVDO, though.
Well if that thing doesn't look beautiful, I don't know what is. I guess a photoshopped Google logo on a cell phone just really gets it for me. And @paragraph: I highly expect to see an HTC handset... soon...

I hope it'll have cut and paste! ;)
Maybe Google will have a Contacts API ready by then so you can sync your gmail contacts. I wish they'd get one done up for my Kaiser to sync with. Hate managing multiple contact lists.
I saw the demo of Android in use, didn't do anything for me.
yeah... compared to the iPhone, it's really nothing special... but compared to the other garbage out there, it looks pretty decent to me.
If you mean average -- funny -- when you say decent, then yes, it looks very decent.
They might mean a full-keyboard as opposed to the Blackberry Pearl's SureType keyboard.
OMG. It's a KIRF!
But seriously, I am looking forward to an "open phone" that I can also use as an information display device (like a chumby) that I can leave on my desk. Hopefully this phone (os) will be "The One".
looks more like an updated i607 (blackjack) rather than a blackberry.
since when do official pictures get released before the OS is final and somebody speculated. obviously not real, man.
I got really excited when I saw the side view in the picture. Then I realized it was a pen.
hahaha
Sorry, can't wait that long, common' Apple release that dam 3G iphone already! Or at the very least give me a $300 8GB(not used). I like Samsung and I'm sure this should turn out to be a very nice phone but in around a year and 1/2 when Android is at the top of its game then I'll look into it.
