136th New Thing - Recycled Old Cellphones

I have a total of 5 old and unused cellphones now that are pretty useless so I decided to charge them, play with them, delete all info, and then recycle them. I can easily part ways with 2 of my old cellphones. My 1st cellphone was an LG 4NE1 (featuring MIDI ringers, neck strap, and changeable side covers) with Sprint PCS and an old 304 WV area code. My 2nd cellphone was a Samsung A670 (a flip phone featuring a colorized display, 32 mb memory, and 0.3 megapixel camera) with Verizon Wireless and my current 773 IL area code. Technology has come a far way from 10 years ago. I knew Target had a MP3/Cellphone/Ink Cartridge Recycling Bin at their store so we walked over there since it was 60F outside today.

122nd New Thing - Bought a Motorola Cellphone

I have Verizon Wireless as my cellphone carrier and my contract was up to renew. When this happens you can get better deals on new cellphones. I've owned a Samsung, Palm, HTC, and 2 LG cellphones in my past. The best current deal that we saw in the stores was the buy one get one free Droid Razr by Motorola . We got 2 16GB Razrs for $199.99. Some of the features of this phone are: Ultra-slim Design, Reinforced Case, Verizon 4G LTE Network, Remote PC Access with MotoCast, Processor 1.2GHz, Smart Actions App, 4.3" Super AMOLED Advanced Display, and HDMI/Mirror Mode. Some cons are it is bigger than my other phones and battery life is short. I haven't gotten much time to play with it yet today, but so far I like it, better than my LG Ally (sorry) and way better than my HTC Eris (sorry again). What did you do today?
