Happy Monday friends.  Hopefully your belly is still recovering from the overload of turkey, pie, potatoes, pie, and more pie. Hopefully also your wallet is not empty from Black Friday and all the amazing spending people seem to do.

That said, if you’re a people in Europe right now, you might be gearing up to spend even more money as the Apple iPhone is now, yes, unlocked in Europe too.  Hold onto your hats as things could once again get interesting overseas when it comes to the controversial, at times, iPhone.

According to the article I just read, T-Mobile will be selling the unlocked Apple iPhone for a whopping 999 Euros (roughly $1477) while being usable on any service provider the user sees fit.  Here’s the kicker, the locked, T-Mobile version of the iPhone, sold with a 2 year contract TO T-Mobile will only set you back 399 Euros, ($590 American buckaroos).  Needles to say, that’s a STEEP price to pay for the unlocked version, is it not?

At any rate, any overseas readers of this blog, sound off, what do you think about the price hike?  What would you do?

If you’ve been living anywhere other than underneath a big, heavy rock the past few years, you’ll understand when I say that the Green Movement is absolutely HUGE.  Energy efficiency, climate protection, conservation and recycling are issues that are everywhere, and rightfully so.  So, all my mobile warrior friends, it’s now that I urge you to not just be a mobile warrior for yourself, but for the planet as well.

How, you might ask?  Simple, small steps towards a better future.  Small steps.  I just found one way that all of you out there, especially with the holiday’s right around the corner, can take a small step that will not cost a thing.  It’s easy, instead of throwing away any old cell phone handsets, recycle them!

The fact is, it is easier than Ever to recycle your old device.  Drop it off at an actual retail cell store where your service provider lives, drop it off at a Best Buy or even some Body Shop’s for free.  At the very least, head over here to this article, read up more about the recycling program and start getting Green!  Look, I even found a link to a Data Erasing Guide for whatever phone you may have, so when you Do recycle it, no one gets your info!  Not too bad!
