I urge everyone to empty out their closets and find their old dumbphones - afterall! We're all on our great, hot, powerful, brand new smartphone! Lets help those when we can! And they do need our help... :)<br><br>What are you going to donate? 2 of my old Sony Ericsson phones, and my HTC Magic for me!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Calvin Lee]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 19th 2010 6:52AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ReCellular will recycle your phone and donate all proceeds to Haiti disaster relief]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/19/recellular-will-recycle-your-phone-and-donate-all-proceeds-to-ha/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/19/recellular-will-recycle-your-phone-and-donate-all-proceeds-to-ha/</guid><description><![CDATA[Define "rest assured".<br>Sorry, I am a sceptic.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[geozec]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 19th 2010 7:21AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ReCellular will recycle your phone and donate all proceeds to Haiti disaster relief]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/19/recellular-will-recycle-your-phone-and-donate-all-proceeds-to-ha/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/19/recellular-will-recycle-your-phone-and-donate-all-proceeds-to-ha/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'd rather wait till there is a plan for all this money, rather than blindly giving it -right now-, which won't help anyone -right now-. I don't mean to downplay this horrible event in any way, but throwing cash won't make the dead come back alive, or make their tiny airport accept shipments any faster. I'm always glad to help out when I can, but that doesn't mean that the money donated will be put to good use.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ned Scott]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 19th 2010 7:44AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ReCellular will recycle your phone and donate all proceeds to Haiti disaster relief]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/19/recellular-will-recycle-your-phone-and-donate-all-proceeds-to-ha/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/19/recellular-will-recycle-your-phone-and-donate-all-proceeds-to-ha/</guid><description><![CDATA[Is this being run by Wycleff Jean?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Look_Around_You]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 19th 2010 8:18AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ReCellular will recycle your phone and donate all proceeds to Haiti disaster relief]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/19/recellular-will-recycle-your-phone-and-donate-all-proceeds-to-ha/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/19/recellular-will-recycle-your-phone-and-donate-all-proceeds-to-ha/</guid><description><![CDATA[@LAY <br>What does that have to do w/ anything?

ReCellular is a real live company, take a look at their website before assuming we don't exist.  I know, I work here.  There are many people besides just the people in Haiti this effort helps.  There are people like myself and about 300 others who are employed by a company who recycles phones in an effort to help charities and businesses.  We've given over $20 million to charities through our efforts. Of course there is profit for the company when they can sell the phones but, without it, they could not employ all the people they do, and we would be more stiffs looking for a job.  Haiti is one of many efforts assisted by ReCellular, and yes, they do receive the actual money for the phones.  Additionally, we do not send phones overseas for little kids to pick through, nor do they end up in landfills.  Do your homework and you will see.  We are partnered with some of the top carriers and the charities they work with as well.  We didn't get those opportunities by selfishly thinking only of our profit.  The owner is a great guy whose head is in the right place, trying to help the environment along the way, it is one of our core values here.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[phonegirl]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 26th 2010 1:46PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
