Using a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, this is more powerful than the 600MHz of its Apple rival, the Nexus One runs on runs on Android 2.1 which is the latest version of Google software. This offers Google Maps Navigation, which effectively acts as a satnav, multiple Gmail accounts and thousands of applications through the android market. Another feature is a trackball that pulses one of three colours to indicate an incoming e-mail, call or text message. It further includes two microphones which it is claimed cancels out background noise allowing a clear call on a busy street. Another useful feature is that the Nexus One will also recognise when it is moved from outside to inside and will change screen brightness accordingly. Voice recognition allows users can talk into the phone and the Nexus will type out their speech, which then can be e-mailed or texted to others.

The Nexus will be available in the UK through Vodaphone this spring, although no exact launch date was given.

However it’s not all over as there is a controversy “brewing” after a software developer who makes a ‘virtual beer’ application for the iPhone announced he is suing Molson Coors, the company that makes Carling lager, for alleged copyright infringement, that should be interesting!  Although the two versions differ slightly, virtual beer uses the handset’s built-in accelerometer to mimic the motion of beer suds swilling around a pint glass and mimic drinking by tipping it back, the Carlsberg version shows beer rising up the iPhone screen, as though it’s been poured into a pint glass, as well as allowing users to pretend to drink it. It appears that Molson Coors approached the software developer a few months after he released iBeer, asking if it could use the application and it was refused.

Apparently the most downloaded app in the rest of Europe is a music related app called Shazam, whilst in the USA it is the Facebook app, need we say more?

Mobile Phone Recycling is still pretty much unheard of across the world but is slowly starting to increase in popularity as the word spreads, and you can see why when the opportunity to dig out an old mobile phone and get a cash return for it within a few working days is available for taking advantage of.

Whether your mobile phone is 5 years old, damaged, or brand new there will be a price offered for you, to take the mobile phone off your hands and help you de-clutter the house whilst also lending a helping hand to the environment.

If you are unsure of where to begin then I suggest taking a look at a new mobile phone recycling price comparison site called Sell My Mobile who will compare all the leading phone recyclers for you in an instant, saving you heaps of time.

Once you have managed to locate your phone by typing in the model number in the search box facility box, you will be given a full set of prices that are offered for this type of phone.  You can then choose to sell your phone at the best price that is returned and after sending it off (freepost) you will receive a cheque in the post (within 1 – 3 days).

It really is that straight-forward and the best part is it won’t cost you a penny, the only thing you need to do is send the phone back, so why not give it a try and search for any phones that you no longer use.
