Would be great if they were easily and cheaply repaired. Nor made “obsolete” in two years via arbitrary updates.
looks at the box with all his old phones in it
“Y’all better not be polluting Thailand!”
I still have all of mine as well, including my first: a samsung sph-n200.
I haven’t had very many, since I take care of my stuff really well and try to get something that will last a long while.
First was a Tmo Sidekick. And I hella wish someone would make a smartphone version of it, with the flip up screen to cover a real keyboard, and a physical scroll wheel. 🤤
Nope, I’ve still got every phone I’ve ever had except for one that I gave away to someone who lost theirs.
“Why phone companies old mobile phones may be polluting Thailand“
I think that may be a better headline
Nah, my old mobile phone is in a drawer in my basement.
They rest in the boxes they came in.
The old batteries can pose a minor fire risk. Haven’t worried about that myself tbh
Mine too, all six of them. Just in case.
Checking in, I got at least six lying around this house. You never know.
Mine too.
Let me guess, “corporate greed”?
Also: Useless/Corrupt/Evil politicians
That’s usually the answer to these kind of questions.
More likely small and medium business greed like we saw it with plastic in China.
