Mainly due to a lack of knowledge on most people&#8217;s apart. A lot of people didn&#8217;t know they could recycle their old mobile phones and make cash from it. Although many people are aware of the benefits of mobile phone recycling there&#8217;s still a large proportion of mobile phone users who are oblivious to the advantages and not just personal advantages but global too.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">By recycling your mobile phone not only are you being kind to your wallet but also giving a helping hand to our planet and environment. The majority of hand sets that aren&#8217;t recycled end up in landfills where they leak harmful toxins and cause damage to our eco-system. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">It&#8217;s really important to make sure you are sending your old mobile phone to a reputable and trustworthy company who you know will recycle your mobile properly and responsible. But there are so many out there it&#8217;s hard to know who to choose and most of all which companies are secure. So one of the best ways to know you&#8217;re in safe hands is by using a mobile phone recycling comparison website. They find you the best deals from the top and safest phone recycling companies and all you need to do is give them the make and model of your phone.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Even though the process is very simple the pure lack of knowledge by a large proportion of people means that mobile phone recycling is neglected and a huge majority of unused mobile phones end up in the trash can.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">So it&#8217;s time to think smart. Mobile phone recycling isn&#8217;t just a fade, it&#8217;s for the good of our precious planet and we only have the one so let&#8217;s make sure we take care of it.</span></p>

We&#8217;ve recently launched our new <a title="compare phone contracts" href="http://compareand.com/mobile-phones" target="_blank">mobile contracts comparison</a> which aims to help you find the cheapest and best value deals when buying a new phone. Although the main focus is on contracts as that&#8217;s where there is the most money to be saved we can also find you prices for pay as you go and sim free handsets too.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve developed a value rating system to try and help you see which deals offer the best bang for your buck, we look at what is included with your contract and how much that contract costs, then we compare it to other deals for that phone and calculate which contracts are the best value. It can be difficult to pick a deal when there are so many to choose from and we hope our value rating will make it that little bit easier for you.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve used Compare and Recycle before then <a title="compare cheap phone contracts" href="http://compareand.com/mobile-phones" target="_blank">comparing phone contract deals</a> should be a breeze, you either choose a particular phone, browse the list of handsets or take a look at our suggested phones. Once you&#8217;ve decided on a handset we&#8217;ll show you all the deals for that phone and using the filter you can narrow down the results to just show deals suitable for you.</p>
<p>Although our contracts comparison site is still very new it&#8217;s already a great way to find the right deal for your new mobile phone and we&#8217;ll continue to improve the site to make it even more useful when saving money. Don&#8217;t forget that comparing contracts could save you hundreds of pounds over the length of the contract so don&#8217;t just go for the first deal you find, take a few minutes to see how much more you can get for your money!</p>

<p>HTC made their name producing Windows Mobile handsets but it was their Android phones which raised their profile to be on par with top mobile manufacturers such as Samsung and Sony Ericsson. While they&#8217;ve continued to support Microsoft by releasing some excellent Windows Phone 7 devices more often than not HTC&#8217;s Android handsets have stolen the show.</p>
<p>Although following previous flagship devices such as the Desire and Sensation is a tall order it looks like the One X should be more than a match for its predecessors. The announcement of the first quad-core handsets means the bar has been raised for all new high-end smartphones and HTC have comfortably lived up to expectations by putting an extremely powerful 1.5GHz quad-core processor in the One X. Considering phones with a decent speed dual-core processor seem to be lightning fast the One X is bound to be astoundingly quick.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.compareandrecycle.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/image11.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2677" title="image1" src="http://www.compareandrecycle.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/image11.jpg" alt="" width="780" height="440" /></a></p>
<p>The Galaxy Nexus impressed with its large, high resolution screen but the One X&#8217;s 4.7 inch 720p screen should look even better as it uses IPS technology meaning we&#8217;ll see iPhone 4S quality colour and brightness only at a higher resolution and on a bigger screen. You&#8217;ll be wanting some 720p videos to make use of that beautiful screen and luckily there is 32GB of on-board storage ready to be filled with films and music.</p>
<p>While there&#8217;s no microSD card slot it&#8217;s not the end of the world as HTC have arranged for users to be given 25GB of DropBox storage for saving and sharing all your files. What makes this especially handy is the fact you can sync your DropBox across devices so you could have the same pictures and music available on both your phone, desktop pc and laptop.</p>
<p>The 8 megapixel camera features a burst mode for taking a series of snaps quickly and HTC are boasting that we&#8217;ll see none of the lag which plagues most camera phones. A 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera should provide good quality video calling while the back camera can record video at 1080p.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.compareandrecycle.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/image2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2679" title="image2" src="http://www.compareandrecycle.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/image2.jpg" alt="" width="780" height="440" /></a></p>
<p>Visually the One X is certainly above average and the polycarbonate body will come in both white and grey (that&#8217;s what HTC are calling it but it looks pretty close to black to us). Like the iPhone 4 and 4S the One X takes micro SIM cards rather than the standard size to save on space and although it might be a pain getting a new SIM over time they&#8217;re certain to become the standard.</p>
<p>With features other manufacturers don&#8217;t have access to such as Beats Audio HTC may have produced a handset that will appeal both to those into the latest technology and those into the latest fashion. The One X looks great, has plenty of power and features a new slicker-looking version of HTC&#8217;s Sense UI, depending on what the Samsung Galaxy S III and iPhone 5 have offer this could be the phone to beat this year.</p>
<p>The HTC One X should be available in April although price and availability are still not yet confirmed.</p>

<p>The Samsung Galaxy S II may not be quite cutting edge any more but many consider it to still be one of the finest phones on the market, the rest of Samsung&#8217;s range has taken a number of design cues from the Galaxy S II and use the same TouchWiz interface meaning even if you can&#8217;t afford a high-end device you can still get the authentic Samsung experience.</p>
<p>The newly announced Galaxy Ace 2 and Galaxy Mini 2 offer two new options for those one the lookout for a new Android handset. The Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 has a good sized 3.8 inch screen running at 800&#215;480, which should look fine since the screen isn&#8217;t too large. It also features a 5 megapixel rear camera with a flash and a front-facing VGA camera for video calling.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.compareandrecycle.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/samsung-galaxy-mini-2.png"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2667" style="margin-left: 15px;" title="samsung-galaxy-mini-2" src="http://www.compareandrecycle.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/samsung-galaxy-mini-2-143x300.png" alt="" width="143" height="300" /></a>The Galaxy Ace 2 may only have 4GB of internal memory (though that&#8217;s still more than some high-end handsets such as the HTC Sensation) but the addition of a microSD slot means an extra 32GB can be added. The Galaxy Ace 2 only has an 800Mhz processor but it is dual-core so it shouldn&#8217;t be too slow (providing you&#8217;re not comparing it to some of the recently announced quad-core Android handsets). Other specs include 768MB of ram, Wi-Fi, GPS and an additional NFC enabled version of the phone.</p>
<p>The Galaxy Mini 2 has a slightly smaller 3.72 inch screen running at only 480&#215;320 which is pretty much standard for lower-end Android handsets. the Galaxy Mini 2 has a 3 megapixel camera with no flash but has the same 4GB of internal memory as the Galaxy Ace 2. A single core 800MHz processor and 512MB of RAM make it obvious this will have much lower performance than the Galaxy Ace 2 and again there will be an NFC enabled version.</p>
<p>Both these phones are a couple of months away from release with April their expected arrival date. No prices have been revealed but the Galaxy Ace 2 will probably be an affordable mid-range handset while the Galaxy Mini 2 is sure to be a low-end handset with a lower price tag to match.</p>

As the years have gone by the gap has closed significantly and with a number of the most popular iOS apps now available on Android it&#8217;s nice to see massive companies such as Sky are seeing the benefits in offering their support to the many millions of Android owners.</p>
<p>Sky Go has been available on the iPhone and iPad for a while now and although they&#8217;ve taken their time, Sky have will have made many of their customers very happy today by allowing them to watch TV on the move on their Android device. While there are no on demand services available you can now watch live TV on your mobile providing you have an appropriate Sky TV package and a decent connection.</p>
<p>Unfortunately it&#8217;s not all good news, for a start the number of compatible handsets is limited and there are currently no supported tablet devices. You&#8217;ll need a HTC Desire, HTC Desire S, HTC Desire HD, HTC Incredible S, HTC Sensation, Samsung Galaxy S or Samsung Galaxy S II to benefit from Sky Go and on top of that rooted devices are not supported. The range of compatible handsets should grow over time though and like most software the app is bound to greatly improve as updates are released.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a Sky customer and you have one of the supported devices then head over to the <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bskyb.skygo&amp;feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ic2t5Yi5za3lnbyJd" rel="nofollow">Android Market</a> to get the official Sky Go app for free.</p>

With a 4-inch super AMOLED screen, 5-megapixel camera and Android 2.3 Gingerbread installed the Galaxy S Advance isn&#8217;t quite a Galaxy Nexus beater.</p>
<p>The Samsung Galaxy S Advance may have a dual-core processor but it only runs at 1Ghz although the 768MB of RAM is comparable to many high-end handsets. The Galaxy S Advance will come in both 8GB and 16GB flavours although the microSD slot will allow you up to 32GB of storage.</p>
<p>The Galaxy S Advance resembles the Galaxy S II in both looks and hardware specs although the overall inferiority of the Samsung s Advance should mean it will be cheaper than its bigger brother. While the Galaxy S Advance will certainly cost more than the Galaxy Ace Plus it should still come in at a price which makes it a godo choice for anyone after a mid-budget Android handset.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.compareandrecycle.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/t-mobile-logo.jpg"><img class="wp-image-2622 alignright" style="margin-left: 15px; margin-top: 10px;" title="t-mobile-logo" src="http://www.compareandrecycle.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/t-mobile-logo-300x88.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="62" /></a>Three&#8217;s popular &#8216;The One Plan&#8217; has long been one of the best value deals on market, with high allowances for calls, texts and data at a great price few plans from other networks come close. Until now that is as T-Mobile have now revealed a rival to Three&#8217;s &#8216;One Plan&#8217; with their &#8216;Full Monty&#8217; deal.</p>
<p>The Fully Monty starts a £36 a month for a 24 month contract and includes unlimited calls to other T-Mobile customers (don&#8217;t worry, you get a comfortable 2,000 minutes to other networks), unlimited texts and unlimited data. Starting a £41 a month is an even more unlimited package with unlimited calls to all networks, unlimited texts and unlimited data.</p>
<p>These deals sound surprisingly cheap considering T-Mobile claim they are truly unlimited with no fair use restrictions on calls, texts or data.  Even more surprisingly some top phones are available with the deal for free such as the Samsung Galaxy S II and HTC Sensation XE although on the lower deals phones such as the iPhone 4S 16GB will cost around £99.</p>
<p>The first details are shown on <a href="http://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=3520&amp;awinaffid=94863&amp;clickref=&amp;p=http%3A%2F%2Fad.doubleclick.net%2Fclk%3B241543146%3B64530279%3Bf%3Bu%3Dawin%26kw%3D94863!%3B%3Fhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.t-mobile.co.uk%2Fshop%2Fthefullmonty%2F%3FWT.mc_id%3DON_MEC_A_AffWin_!!!sitename!!!%26WT.tsrc%3DAffiliate" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">T-Mobile&#8217;s Website</a> although more detailed information is due to follow later in the week. Although some prefer cheaper deals at just £36 with a top handset the Full Monty certainly sounds like a deal worth getting.</p>

<p>The Defy+ JCB Edition is protected by JCB&#8217;s visco-elastic protective sleeve which not only provides some protection from knocks and falls but protects the screen from dust and dirt too.</p>
<p>Installed on the Defy+ JCB Edition is the JCB Tool Box, you get a torch app which uses the camera flash, a digital spirit level, a decibel meter and other handy tools that will come in handy both at work and around the home.</p>
<p>With the same specs at the standard Defy+ you get a pretty decent piece of hardware with a 1Ghz processor, a 5 megapixel camera and Android 2.3 installed. With such protection from the dangers of the workplace the Defy+ JCB Edition is one of the few higher-end handsets which won&#8217;t shatter from the tiniest fall (we&#8217;re looking at you iPhone 4) and at £259.99 it&#8217;s a good value device too.</p>
