Clouditems that charming idea, but this matter is far beyond just mobile devices. http://baretech.wordpress.com/2012/01/05/sharing-may-be-the-future-not-social-sharing-sharing-everything/

Expansion into major metropolitan areas starts this year and continues in 2013. visit http://www.ecoatm.com for updates on locations.

So you can start looking for them in major metropolitan areas this year and even more in 2013.

You’re right that these kiosks won’t be widely deployed for awhile. Not sure on the timing, but yes until they are convenient and wide spread, look for a mail in option.

For now your best alternative is to mail your cell phones to http://www.technollo.com. They offer better pricing, free shipping and department of defense data wiping processes that ensure your phone is recycled properly. Or if you want to talk to a human call us at 888-242-1110 and we’ll be happy to help you sell us your smart phones.
