I agree, this is a huge step backwards in trying to go green with our technology… just like the one-use DVDs, there should not be any one use items anymore which we can avoid because it is going to contribute so much to our trash. Just come out with a phone that is pay-as-you-go and you would never need a disposable phone!

I don’t like the idea that many cell phones are just being disposed instead of being recycled. There are many places where you can donate your phone to. But I also think that people don’t really care about disposing cheap phones because all they need to do is use it and once it’s used they don’t have a need for it anymore. They simply don’t want to go the extra mile and recycle. I don’t think we should get rid of one-time use items but we should recycle them and find a way to put them to good use.
