Looking for the best place to sell your mobile?

There are quite a few options available in the market should you wish to discard your old mobile phone. What you choose depends on how much time you have at hand to look around to compare deals and what price expectations you have in mind for the same.

You could trade it for a new mobile, place it on an auction, sell it to some High Street shop buying mobiles or even recycle it for cash. Now which of these should you go for?

If you are considering trading in your old phone for a new one, remember that the trade-in value is hardly as good as what one gets on selling it. Additionally, one also needs to sign a contract which will cost more over time.

Talking about selling your old phone to some high street shop, the value you will get here is again lesser than other options, as I have myself enquired about various mobiles at different shops.

In case you are thinking of putting up the mobile on auction, your phone not only has to be one of the popular ones, but you will also need to wait for the right audience to first identify your auction and be available when the bidding has ended.

The last and probably the best option in terms of getting good money for your old phone is to recycle it. It is a simple and easy to understand process which can be followed without stepping out of your house.

Your answer to finding the best place for selling your mobile is right here.

Do Not Track Bill Comes Up For Consideration in the US Senate

A new bill has been introduced in the US Senate, which if passed, will result in a do not track mechanism coming into effect. The bill supported enthusiastically by the civil rights and privacy avocation groups in America will provide anonymity to the internet users.

Legislative Counsel at the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union), Mr. Chris Calabrese has called the bill crucial to the civil liberties protection. The main concern addressed by the bill is the leaking of confidential user information gathered mainly to fetch customized ads for the user, into the databases which in turn are used by law enforcement and government agencies. In the opinion of Calabrese, this is wrong practice. Internet users should be provided “practical anonymity” to comment and read debatable material, and allowed to engage themselves in non-mainstream groups.

He further stated in a press conference that the present day economic model offers incentives for tracking. If consumers aren’t provided the option to pull out, a detailed report of their online activities is created, which is outside their control.

The issue is that more and more people are spending most of their time on internet. Smartphones have made it even easier to stay connected from anywhere and therefore users are continuously sending out their habits and information to unreliable entities. As an example, typing any keyword into the Facebook status update or comments section throws up several targeted ads on the right hand side of the page. Although you can prevent the system from using your information, you can’t prevent the system from gathering it. The ‘Do Not Track’ bill hopes to tackle that issue.

Mixing Mobiles with Driving – The Debate Continues in the US

We have a sister company by the name of Sell Cell in the USA. Therefore, we like peeking in occasionally to find out what is it that they are discussing. Recently, it is talking and messaging while driving is what they are talking about.

Here in United Kingdom, we all are comfortably aware of the fact that talking and texting on a handset while driving can be fatal. We are also aware that doing so is illegal. The only time it is permissible to talk on a handset while driving is when you make use of a hands-free to do so. Even using a hands-free can be held against you and you can resultantly be charged and face points and/or fines if the police personnel find that you appeared distracted while using the hands-free.

However, in the USA it’s a completely different story. In several states, it is considered absolutely normal to talk on a handset while driving. While in others, no one gives you dirty looks even if you’re found texting while driving. Although this is undergoing a change with times, but in a nation where people hate the idea of a government dictating how they should and should not lead their lives, banning taking/texting while driving can never be accepted with open arms.

Regardless of all justifications, the truth is that it is very unsafe to interact with a mobile phone while operating a vehicle. Furthermore, keeping aside the legal aspects, as drivers, we must act in a responsible manner and keep our mobiles put of reach while driving. However tempting that message or call may be, we must abstain from checking it.

LG claims Bigger is Better

If you are finding your current or old smartphone smaller now, there is some good news for you!  LG has come up with a new addition which is expected to hit Korea next month; and the European markets summer this year.

The new smartphone is named LG Optimus Big, and as the name goes, it really is gigantic.  A peep into the new phone’s photo shows that it is larger than the iPhone 3GS too.  So folks who love bigger things will surely love this one.  Well, when we actually got into some depth of analysis ‘how’ big it really is, we were slightly disappointed.  A comparison between LG Optimus Big with its competitors like Samsung Galaxy S II as well as HTC Desire HD reveals that while the screens of each of these are pretty similar, the only advantage LG has is that it uses Nova Screen, the much talked about technology.  Not only that, LG Optimus Big is believed to be twice as bright as the other phones that use the more conventional Super AMOLED Display.  It also uses up less power and claims to give deeper blacks and purer whites than most of the other LED screens.

Isn’t it contrary to our belief that the new technological advancements were moving towards sleeker and smaller gadgets in the 21st century rather than bulky and big?  Only time will tell as LG prepares itself for the launch of this new innovation.

Android Leads the Race to the Top

The race for the most popular OS amongst Americans is heating up. Android is on top now with 29% share in the US market while Apple and BlackBerry each hold on to a 27% share. However, it would be hard to predict the winners from this data alone as it varies based on whether you are following the OS or the manufacturer.

For example, if you look at the manufacturers, RIM and Apple are slightly ahead in the race and this doesn’t come as a surprise. Android is present on several handsets coming from different manufacturers while each of BlackBerry and iOS only appear on a specific manufacturer’s handset. The breakdown indicates that 1/3rd of the US population owns a BlackBerry and another 1/3rd owns an iPhone. The rest are left for Android. HTC seems to be the favourite amongst Android phones with 12% share while Motorola comes a close second with 10%. Samsung has 5% share in the Android market.

When it comes to the OS race, Microsoft is 4th, running on 7% of the HTC handsets that are purchased in the market. An interesting shift is the relative popularity of Android amongst the younger people, considering its earlier tag for being a geek OS to some extent. iPhone 5 is set to be released soon. There are some tablets too which will find their way into the market. In such a scenario it would be interesting to find out if Android continues to be on top. Quite a few experts believe that it will.

And Europe sees it coming much faster than the United States, as ABC News Ahead of the Curve reports it.

So what is NFC all about?

NFC refers to a technology which helps convert your cell phone into a wallet. The companies currently in the pipeline for launching NFC capabilities include the O2 (the mobile phone carrier), which will introduce this mobile wallet feature as early as the second half of this year. Molo Rewards, which is a start-up company, has jumped onto the bandwagon too. It is already offering rewards and mobile coupons for scanning the bar codes of one’s favourite items in shops that one visits.

However, it may change soon with not only Apple and RIM in the process of launching such phones, but even Google will be using NFC technology in a number of its Android 2.3 mobile phones. Apple is set to introduce the new NFC technology in its next generation iPhones as well as iPads and RIM, in its Torch 2, Curve and Dakota.
