I'm going to take a quick poll and add a solution to this issue! Anyone can answer this poll, but for now, I only can solve US issues, everyone else will be too expensive for you unless you'd like to do this as well.
I was looking around my house and found several cell phones I don't use anymore and became intrigued and how advanced cell phones has become every year! Even the same phone you may have bought a couple months ago was basically extinct once the newer model was released, now you feel out of style! I have about 6 cell phones I've found that were just chilling hanging around the house and I was bored so I decided to mess around with them and noticed the difference in camera pics definition, features, sound, games, graphics, storage, all types of stuff! Then old phone numbers of people I was cool with and just lost touch with for any reason unknown along with we all changed numbers or whatever!
So with that said, here's my solution for your old phone clutter! I've decided to collect phones, not anything too old I can't do anything with; but just about 5 or 6 years old! I'll update this and give more accurate details, but the phones I have are:
Samsung t509
Sony Ericsson z520
Nextel i880
LG Musiq LX570
LG c2000
Nokia 3205
Now I know I got some more, just have to find them! Obviously the newer Nextel and LG phones are much better than all of the other phones, but it's fun to check them out and play with and research them, in my opinion! Anyway, I figure if you have them lying around collecting dust and rather recycle them to companies for whatever reason, or rather just throw them away; send them to me! I don't mind collecting them and giving comparative analysis and things of that nature! I may be able to do an article on cell phones and make a bit of money, be another researcher and get paid, who knows?! But, during the poll, let me know how many cell phones you have that you are not using, make and models and how old they are! If you would like to send it to me and you're in the US, let me know and private message me, I'll even pay for your shipping - BUT IT HAS TO BE IN DECENT USABLE CONDITION!!!

I have my motorola phone (forgot the model), 1 nokia 6300, 1 nokia 3110c.
I had my first cellphone when I was 14 years old (now I'll be turning 24 this year), it was the Philip Savvy, non-colored unit. I also had the chance to use the old model of Sony Ericsson (the one that looks like a remote control because it's huge), then I shifted to trium, then to nokia 5110c. I also had the chance to use the nokia 3210 (it was popular that time), and another sony ericsson colred cellphone unit. Now I'm using the Nokia 3110c.

LOL, I remember my first phone - it was the first Sony phone where the earpiece flipped up
man I thought I was doing something with the extra high CellOne service, I think it was 300 free minutes and then .40 cents a minute?! It cost me a penny to get it all, but the plan was crazy - free nights but no weekends, WHAT?
My bill was like $800 before I gave that up!!!!!
Then I got Primeco, again, I thought I was doing something! I don't even remember what that phone was, it may have been a brand they don't make anymore, it was cool for then, but at least this time I had free nights and weekends, and the first incoming minute was free; so at 50 secs, "hey call me right back" And from thee, I just got back on track with what phones I had!!

I have one cell phone which is sometimes lying around but I put it in my pocket when I go out. I am not one of those who have lots of money and just have to buy a new cell phone when one comes to the market. I should try to save some money in order to buy me another cell phone but I am too poor to do this. Cheers!!

oh nah, ur not the only one homie! 3 of my phones are old, one I had for a year with T-Mobile and the other two, the Nextel and LG Musiq, I'd rather not say how I got those, but those are the new phones with crazy technology!! I also have a Curve I neglected to mention, I got the same way I got the other 2, I've never bought a phone, always gotm for free with plans or other ways! I'm paying for phones now to collect them, but I'm only taking them off people's hands, I can't use them and paying for shipping if it has to be shipped!! U should try it as well, may work out for u if u need sum extra cash!
