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)
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.
What do d+b have to do with this phone other than their name printed on it?
Right. And why is it that "fashion" phones are always so damn ugly?
wasn't the jalou supposed to be that touchscreen phone that got leaked on thursday last week???
Nah that was a really crappy concept phone made by a fan which happened to be floating around at the very same time that the Jalou name leaked out. They have nothing to do with each other, but tech sites managed to confuse them anyway. :)
Ghastly
Me eyes!! ARGH!
i just threw up... in my mouth
Uhm... that's just plain nasty
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA
Rich people who buy this are ones who buy anything just to be different from everyone else.
Yeah... That special kind of different brought on by generational wealth, watching the parents host swinger cocaine parties and being surrounded by Yes friends who are too scared of losing their front seat status to tell the truth about the next style Fail
The "Real" D&G phone should be little narrow, long and having a strong vibrator.
What is D&G??!?!?
Ask Dolce & Gabbanna
It's Dolce and Gabbana Hello!
You should know this. Nerds are supposed to be savvy these days.
@hitsthings and viv
Of course! You guys didn't get the joke here...
"Brüno" has been quoted here!
Women... *facepalm*
I was actually interested in buying the D&G ver. And I'm a guy. Looks pretty sleek.
Who buys flip phones anymore?
The "fashionistas" have moved to touchscreens, most likely the iPhone.
Yawn. SE, if you want to sell a "luxury" brand like D&G, how about pairing it with a real luxury phone, like the Satio, or at least a Cybershot model. Pairing this with a dumbphone is, well, just dumb.
That's where you are wrong, luxury phones usually don't have very advanced features. Because people who buy them are not tech enthusiasts, they just want to show off how rich they are.
Limited editions are nothing but a little make up on old versions, this looks like a z series phone, with little modifications.
Paris Hilton cant be that materiali.....never mind
Just like LG's Prada in terms of 'why?'
a random child could design something like that.. they should put more effort in, although does it even make a difference to the people who buy this thing.
SonyEricsson's last breath. #sonyericssonfail
oh come on this is a pretty cool looking dumbphone
GABBANA has just one N, get your Italiano straight
looks like a cheap perfume bottle, wonder if it smells nice too....
Looks neat, there's nothing wrong with it, except that after using an iPhone one cannot go back to a dumb phone. It's just not possible. This one looks like it pretty much could be from 5 years ago....
Kinda looks like a Transformer.
I'm sorry, what did he say?
"is definitely designed to put "style" first and substance last"
Hmm... sounds like another company's way of doing things...
Epic fail as bad as some of their clothes.
Mmmm - more ridiculous designs for people with more money than sense.
I prefer funny stuff that is still functional:

Overpriced piece of junk
...and if you put a Cadillac logo on a Chevrolet, it's still a Chevrolet...
Je ne suis pas jaloux.
Despite the 24k gold plating, it is still a hideous phone. You couldn't pay me to use it!
"If you have to ask how much it costs, you probably can't afford it."
"In that case, I'll take two."
Now we know why the Psp cell phone is taking so long they were working on this piece of junk so everyone can laugh at them fire what clueless CEO at Sony Ericssonn they need to. Then they would find someone with some living brain cells and bring out the Psp cell. Finally, they would a serious contender to the cell phone world. Right? that's the plan?!! Must be
Gawd—
Dolce&Gabbana? Really?
I would of thought this thing was 'designed' by the same crew who 'designed' the Hummer.
Clunky, Dumpy & Junky.
