USA Electronics and Phone Recycling Industry stats Q3 2014Hi all, following on our regular series, here’s our latest electronics and phone recycling statistics taken from the www.sellmycellphones.com site for the third quarter of the year (July – September 2014).

Let’s find out, here’s my Motorola Moto X review.

It’s impressive, that’s the first thing I noticed when holding it to give it an extensive check over and review. It feels solid despite being plastic (much like the iPhone 5c) and is very responsive.
