While I, like everyone else here, would love to continue to read your reviews on each of the phones you have, I'm sure we're all a bit interested in changing the "recycling program" you currently utilize (i.e. instead of putting them in a the drawer, move them on to another owner perhaps?)

Yeah, I know, I'm a greedy little ba..erm...person. I just like new toys as much as the next person. And though I'm not saying "Hey, give me your phone", it may be a good idea to start perhaps a weekly giveaway, or a weekly or monthly auction on the phones.. Something so that the phone doesn't have a short life, and others can get their hands on a "slightly used" toy that was mainly being used for review purposes..

Anyway, that's just my $.02.. Wait.. change that.. $.01.. I'm too broke to give two cents away right now.. :-) Anyway, I look forward to the reviews, and I hope you'll respond to this in some way so at least I know you've heard my suggestion.

Glad to see you liked the smartphone. Shame about the touch screen. I'm currently using the Cingular(AT&T) 8525/HTC TyTn (yeah, I know.. I got it before I really started reading a lot of the stuff out here...but it's better than what I was going to get..).

Anyway, My previous post (ref: Phone Tag part 1) wasn't asking for you to give the phone for someone else to review..but more trying to get you to recycle (though payment or through "giveaway") the phones that you have completed a review on. Granted, if you're paying for these phones, giving them away is probably not the best of ideas.. But after you review it, perhaps sell it at near what it cost you (the words.. slightly used come to mind). e-Bay, of course, would be a good outlet, as would just general statements here.

I mean yeah, we all see exactly what you have found as a downside, but some of us might like exactly that. Not saying I'm one of them, but I know what a "phone drawer" must look like for you, and a bit of a recycling may help make room for new toys to review. :-)

Anyway, I'm happy to continuously waste a bit of bandwidth reading your reviews, and I look forward to the Nokia N73.

Happily RRS'd,

John
