Recycling. We've all gotten the hang of carting our newspapers and bottles to the kerb once a week, but what about recycling our electronics?

With new mobile phones and MP3 players practically begging to be bought every six months, pre-loved products can start to take up some serious shelf space. The earth-friendly solution is to recycle those suckers, but would you know where to take them?

In Whaddyareckon? this week we're asking whether you recycle your gadgets.

If, like many we interviewed, you're not sure where to drop off your old phones, have a squiz at our Ask Us video on recycling tired handsets.

Got an idea for a future Whaddyareckon? Tell us in our CNET.com.au forums or in the Whaddyareckon? Facebook group.

      It's been a long time coming but finally Nokia has a sexy touchscreen phone. Although, does it have what it takes to make us look away from the ever-alluring iPhone?

      An elegant smartphone that both excites and disappoints at the same time.

      HP iPAQ 912c

      The HP iPAQ 912c defines the middle of the road. When you consider its performance versus the price, the 912c is passable but painfully average.

      Sony Ericsson W980i

      Most of our complaints about the W980 are purely cosmetic. Looks aside, this latest Walkman works well as both a phone and a dedicated music player, with a substantial 8GB of storage being the icing on the cake.

      Nokia 6210 Navigator

      While the 6210 is solidly built and features fast performance, the lack of a lifetime subscription to turn-by-turn navigation robs the Navigator of what should make it unique in the market.
