Everyone and their mama are launching trade-in programs these days. Most major carriers already have something like that on place and now Canadian Bell is re-launching its trade-in program, allowing customers to put the value of their old phone towards the purchase of a phone or accessory.
However, you should know Bell will only give money for devices in good condition. So if your phone’s keyboard or touchscreen is not working as it should, you better forget about it. On the other hand, if your device fits the bill, you can accept what Bell is offering you and use the certificate they give you “in-store at the time of trade in.” Bear in mind that “unused values are relinquished once you leave the store.”
Sounds too strict but then again – most trade-in programs work like this…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
