Mobile phones are becoming as common as personal computers. Technological advancements have enabled telecommunication firms to think of better ways to include exciting features that were once just possible for computers. One can listen to music, watch videos, or even browse the internet with the use of mobile phones. With increased features, more and more consumers are purchasing mobile phones at an increased rate. This could also mean more probability for old mobile phone units to be discarded.

As an answer to increased mobile phone wastes, mobile recycling companies have thought of ways to find value for old phones. It is not surprising that some old mobile phone units are still in good working condition but are no longer used by the owners. So, these companies offer money in exchange for these units so that they can be sold again to other people. In the UK, one known and trusted phone recycler is FoneBank.

The concept of sell my mobile is an important aspect in recycling. It makes old mobile phones usable in other countries where business and personal communications via these devices can help people stay connected. Fonebank supports this sell my phone method so that any phones that the company has purchased will be repaired and refurnished to maximize utility. In case the phone is beyond repair, the unit undergoes recycling procedures prescribed by authorities.

With mobile phone recycling, one can earn money from selling old mobile units and help in maintaining the environment at the same time.

How do I sell my mobile – this is a typical question for most customers who are hoping to earn some money out of their old mobile phones.

The first thing you have to do is to search for the model of your phone in their website. If you are not sure of what model you have, you can input the name of the manufacturer to determine the existing value of the unit. Once you are done searching, you can create an account to complete the online order. The company will assign an order number for the mobile recycling transaction and you will receive postage instructions in case your order is approved. Afterwards, a Freepost envelope will be sent for the old mobile phone. Verification from the company regarding the condition and phone security details that have been sent by customers will be made. In case you and the company have agreed on the selling price, you will get payment within 48 hours from receipt of the mobile phone.

This late in the game, there is still a number of people who refuse to believe what they cannot yet see and dismiss the fact about the still unseen Amazon’s very first Kindle Tablet – purportedly named ‘Kindle Fire‘.

Based on reports online, what can be confirmed about the highly anticipated Kindle Fire is that it boasts of a full color display, a seven-inch touch screen (a similar build to that of the Blackberry Playbook or the Galaxy Tab) and an Adroid OS.

Consumers expecting their favorite Android applications to run on “Fire” will, however, have to be slightly disappointed. As discussed by MG Siegler of Tech Crunch, Amazon has gone to great lengths to make their tablet’s interface completely different from all other competing devices. It may use Android, but it is the type of Android that has been exclusively reworked for the Kindle.

Applications that have been confirmed as pre-loaded in the tablet include Amazon’s own Cloud Player for audio files as well as its Instant Video player for multimedia files. The typical Kindle application for reading e-books is also available.

For surfing the Internet, the tablet boasts of its own tab-equipped web browser. It has a greater resemblance to the WebKit of Android rather than the original UI for Kindle.

Perhaps the only drawbacks to the new tablet are its internal storage and connection capabilities. At present, the tablet only comes equipped with approximately 6GB worth of built-in storage space. There is Wi-Fi available but no 3G. Finally, it does not come with a camera either.

Last but not the least, the price of the much-awaited Kindle Fire is yet another pleasant surprise. At just $250, it is priced virtually the same as its direct competitor, Nook Color from Barnes & Noble, but more importantly it is also half the price of a basic iPad from Apple. To sweeten the deal, Amazon is also believed to offer free Prime subscriptions as well as other Kindle-related incentives for prospective users.

Sources close to Amazon reveal that if the 7″ version of the tablet proves to be an instant success, the company will push through with its plans to release a 10″ version of the Kindle Fire for the first quarter of 2012.

Update: Amazon is going to unveil “Kindle Fire” on Oct 28 at a special press conference Wednesday in New York.
