Root Conflict Free Phones?

[cherrynexus]

Hi everyone,

I saw some report on the metals that are used in all cell phones and are fueling the conflict in Congo. (YouTube - Conflict Minerals 101)

I think we can all do our part in urging google, HTC and all other phone manufacturers and partnering associations to pay much closer attention in finding out where they get their metals from and refuse to buy conflict minerals.

Thanks for your support.

I agree! No more conflict phones but for u know where I can get a good deal on some blood diamonds?

that's very disturbing, but unfortunately short of banning buying.... ALL ELECTRONICS there really isn't a whole lot you can do... do you know how many things have solder in them? as pendergrast says, ALL cell phones have these. what would be more effective than contacting htc or google, or apple, would be to contact your government. there should be an embargo against the congo, so that companies simply arent buying the minerals from the congo, which fuels what goes on there.

What's ironic, is that they probably used those materials in the making of the video.
