BlackBerry’s – most recycled and most sold in UK
In a country where any BlackBerry last year did not work for four days, it seems that citizens standing in line to give the brand phones in exchange for modest amounts. Thus, in an industry where only last month were spent £2.63 million, 40% of recycled phones are created by RIM, that figure was reached in four different models that were in the top 10.
The most popular phone for recycling in UK gave in January was iPhone 3GS, a smartphone that was reflected in the average a sum of 104 pounds for one device.
Although BlackBerry smartphones lead the top, the same brand was first in the ranking of the acquired terminals in stores, with 28%. As a demonstration of the fact that users have become more likely to recycle phones and equipment, number of users who have accessed the website SellMyMobile.com in January this year was 30% higher than a year past.
Although chances are that trying to market the smartphone on a dedicated site like eBay.com to get a better price, increasingly more people have come to rely on websites dedicated to the recycling process.
