For the less charitably inclined just thought I'd mention its well worth shopping around the various places offering you cash for your old mobiles.

yup, with none of the linked sites looking vaguely official or mirroring of the appeal on any official site possibly a bit dodgy.... I'd get the best deal you can and give to a reputable charity directly (if you can find one). 0
