looks at the box with all his old phones in it
“Y’all better not be polluting Thailand!”
Yep, I have a box with all my cell phones (as well as my wife’s phones) going back to 2005 when I was able to get my first one. Man I miss my Razor v3 and the OG Motorola Droid, at least I can still look at them.
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. 🤤
Would be great if they were easily and cheaply repaired. Nor made “obsolete” in two years via arbitrary updates.
Nah, my old mobile phone is in a drawer in my basement.
They rest in the boxes they came in.
Mine too, all six of them. Just in case.
Checking in, I got at least six lying around this house. You never know.
The old batteries can pose a minor fire risk. Haven’t worried about that myself tbh
Mine too.
“Why phone companies old mobile phones may be polluting Thailand“
I think that may be a better headline
Thank you. Everyone either has their old phones in a box under their bed or they traded them in to a COMPANY who apparently proceeded dump them into thialand.
Nope, I’ve still got every phone I’ve ever had except for one that I gave away to someone who lost theirs.
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.
