So it looks like the vintage Nokia 3310 that's been living in my pashmina drawer for the past five years might be finding itself a new home. A handy* new German site uses 51Degrees’ device detection software to identify your device and display an appropriate trade-in price comparison table. This free web-widget giving undisputed trade-in prices and full details on how to recycle abandoned inferior devices can be installed from Pricenamics.com. Must admit it appeases my conscience to know there is a green solution to my unplanned antique mobile phone collection, although I’m not the only one.
Research suggests several million unloved devices lurk in drawers destined for landfill**. You can even do your bit to encourage others to save the planet by integrating the widget onto your website, earning up to 70% revenue share in rewards. Once installed, Pricenamics’ free ‘Device Detection Widget’ displays an on-screen ad on your website, giving visitors the current re-sale value of the smartphone or tablet they’re using. From here, users can monitor the value of their device and make informed decisions about its value and re-sale. There are hourly and daily updates too so no more trawling through lists to try and identify your device, the Device Detection Widget does it for you.
*Germans call their mobiles ‘Handys’.
