Who Needs A New Charger?

An article in today's Grauniad reports that in a 3 month trial O2 found that 82% of customers purchasing a HTC One X+ were willing to do so without a charger. I have to say well done O2 for setting up the trial. I have long been irked that one can pack one's old mobile up and send it away to be stripped down and parts recycled but not the charger (not that I very often change my 'phone - ludditism rules!). There must be recharger mountains all over the place.

So this is one small victory for resource efficiency. 'Tis far better not to keep upgrading you 'phone in the first place, of course, but one has to start somewhere.
