You might not know it, but it's National Cell Phone Recycling Week. From April 5th through 11th, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is encouraging consumers to recycle all those old cell phones that are just laying around the house.

No surprises here, but according to the Wall Street Journal, Apple is hard at work on the fourth generation iPhone. The paper also claimed that Cupertino was prepping a CDMA-based iPhone that could be used on either Verizon or Sprint, another oft-rumored move that would compensate for issues with the AT&T network.

Share While AT&T and Verizon have been duking it out over who has the most 3G coverage and firing iPhone, Droid, and Nexus One salvos at each other, Sprint has been quietly sitting back waiting to deliver its unexpected coup de grâce. Yesterday, at the CTIA mobile event in Vegas, the second tier provider announced the first 4G phone available in the U.S. -- and it's a monster. The ...

Back in January, T-Mobile became the first carrier to have the honor of supporting Google's Nexus One. Verizon customers were promised that the Nexus One would be available to them by the end of 2010, but Android-loving customers at AT&T and Sprint were left with a bad case of Google envy. That changed this week, though, and, now, everyone (at least everyone in the U.S.) will be able to get in ...

Cell phone plans are complex creatures. With all those options for minutes, text messaging, and Internet, it's impossible to figure out exactly what you're paying for. The result? Thoroughly confused, many customers just play it safe and purchase the most expensive packages. Barry Nalebuff, economics professor at the Yale School of Management, told the New York Times, "The whole pricing thing ...

David Pogue, New York Times tech writer extraordinaire, took to the Web two weeks ago in a campaign to force cell phone carriers to delete time-wasting, pre-voicemail instructions. Pogue writes that over 28,032 blogs have rallied behind the Take Back the Beep campaign, and "thousands and thousands" of complaints have been sent to Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint. So, two weeks in, how ...

Made from 40-percent corn-derived bio-plastic and 80-percent biodegradable material in general, Samsung, along with service partner Sprint, just announced the 'Reclaim,' touted as the world's first green phone (an iffy claim, considering that earlier this year Motorola came out with its W233 Renew phone, made out of recycled plastic water bottles). The two corporations jointly debuted the ...

According to one of those insiders, Barnes & Noble had apparently first ...

Dropped calls ruining your friendships, business relationships, and/or hairline?

Verizon was the clear winner, with customers reporting an average of just 2.2-percent of their calls dropped; Sprint came ...

Without a doubt, 2009 is destined to be the year of The Android. Samsung earlier this week announced its ticket to the party with a Q2 launch of its Android phones on both Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile in the US. Apparently, the touch-screen device will be an adaptation of the Omnia (Korea's 800 x 480 pixel version please) and Instinct. In other words, a rectangle with a full-screen display and ...
