I know several people, myself included, who are patiently (or not so patiently in my case) awaiting the arrival of the Palm Pre. But what do you do with your old cell phone when you acquire a new one? I have some suggestions If you’re looking to make some money try Gazelle, Greenphone or Envirofone for those in the UK. If you’d like to donate your phone: Hope Phones – donate your phone to a medical clinic in a developing country (found on Beth’s Blog) Cell Phones for soldiers – help the troops call home Recycle for Breast Cancer National Coalition Against Domestic Violence Phones for Life – donated to senior citizens so they can call 911 in case of an accident or emergency Bookmark on Delicious Digg this post Share on FriendFeed Share on netvibes share via Reddit Share with Stumblers Tumblr it Buzz it up Subscribe to the comments on this post Print for later Tell a friend
My 71 hours as a Palm Pre owner

I’ve been awaiting for the Pre for a long time. My contract with Sprint expired in January and I’d started shopping around, wanting a little more from a smartphone than I was getting from my Centro. I’d pretty much decided to switch to an iPhone when the Pre was announced. I waited not so patiently for it to come out. Well Saturday was the Day! I headed to the Sprint store and got there around 8:50, by 9:40 everything was complete other than loading my contacts and some basic instructions on how to use it. But we ran into a glitch, they couldn’t get my contacts to load. Now the employees were wonderful and it was not fault of theirs, but I didn’t actually leave the store until 12:30. I headed home and plugged in my Pre to fully charge the battery and download the latest version of the software. Once I started using it noticed right away that my signal at home was weak.
