"Sexiest phone ever?"

 

Top YouTube video-maker Hooman was at the MTV Movie Awards style lounge last month and just posted this video packed with celebs (SNL's Horatio Sanz, Hairspray's Nikki Blonsky, Iron Man's Faran Tahir, and yes, the Orbit Gum girl) to give us the definitive answer to the question: "Is the Palm Centro sexy?"

Now here's a question for you: Which of these celebs makes the sexiest companion to their new Centro? Watch the video and post your thoughts on YouTube.

Out with the old, in with the ka-ching!

If your cell phone goes kaput, or you just decide it’s time for something better, what do you do with the old one?

CrunchGear recently shared an article on a company called Flipswap that will take your old cell phone off your hands. In exchange, you can choose a cash payment or have the trade-in value donated to charity. (Either way, you're helping to reduce e-waste.)

Palm also has a recycling program for your old gear. Remember that any time you're donating, selling, or recycling your Palm mobile devices, you'll want to do a factory (or “zero out”) reset before turning it over to someone else. This erases all the data on your Palm device to make sure your personal info doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. Check out the Palm support site for details.
