Once again, Ray uses elegance to craft a solution to a crufty issue – Ebay for ShoePhones…  I’ve got a Moto v70 that’s gathering dust because I think AT&T sucks rocks… 

A lazyweb request after reading this:  Someone should register the domain "phoneswap.org", and build a quick website (no - not a business) that does two things:  1) acts as a clearinghouse where you can post the phone/technology (and carrier if it's locked) that you have, and the carrier/technology that you're switching to, and 2) has a community-supported "how to" on helpful hints for swapping contacts - perhaps even technology-assisted.  If you just want to get rid of an unused phone or other device or pda, you could be offered the option instead to formally accumulate whuffie.
