  • LG has released a program that will allow you to update your phone’s firmware. While this sounds really cool, it would be nice if LG had actually released some firmware update along with it.

-Wrong! Sprint only refurb phone that are returned withing the 30 days and still in "like new" condition. Actually they loose a little in the process. When people upgrade their phones and turn in their old phone for buyback, service and repair store recycle the parts for repair. If the parts are not needed the phone are sent to some recylcling agency or something. This is more like a movement to prevent phone from ending up in the trash and "not help" the environment.

People in every country receive the home loans in various creditors, just because it's simple.
