Another Recycle Program

I just noticed that my new Motorola V180 handsets now come with a prepaid recycle bag for the customer's old unit.

Just drop the old phone in the bag and stick it in the mail.

Anyone else see this type of process with any other handsets?

First I've heard of it, but actually it's not a bad idea. I could actually use some recycling bags.

Jon,

The full Moto line comes with these bags. Another deceptive method for Moto to make money and accumulate spare parts. Brilliant!!

"Here at Motorola, USA we support the environment by recycling your old, unused phones. That's why we're proud to announce our newest model: The TRSH G4!"

".........."

"It can also double as a coaster!"

"BRILLIANT!"

You know...having some StarTac accessories would be nice. I am still astonished the number of people in Dallas who still carry this phone.

I wonder if the Moto Techs laugh at some of the older phone that they recieve.

And in 5-6 years think of the nostalgia when talking about a RAZR... ha.

Is it wrong of me to view brand new Motos as a bunch of spare parts? Gah, I hate those effin' phones... 🙄 Of course, I did eight exchanges today for Motos with blank LCDs, so maybe that's coloring my opinion today...

Heh, when I want to relax I take my dawg on a six mile hike up a steep hill... I'm a masochist or something, which would explain a LOT about my choice of vocation! 🙄

While I applaud any effort to recycle - I feel compelled to add some information.

Most all states, counties, and cities have recycling facilities. Many of these are non-profit.

I would encourage you to investigate the alternatives available before returning any phone to a corporation - especially when considering that many of the phones are resold as refurbished - thus allowing the corporation to profit twice off the same product.

Your propensity for clearly exhibiting your ignorance is simply amazing.

A lapdog encourages one to consider alternatives - instead of - allowing a corporation to profit off the same product twice?

I am simply dumbfounded.
