Last week, T-Mobile introduced its trade-in program for customers. With this service, T-Mobile customers can get their old phones appraised at a T-Mobile location. Depending on certain factors, T-Mobile will provide an estimate for the phone’s value and allow you to send it to The Wireless Source for a check for the quoted amount. We had some questions about this service, so we asked T-Mobile about potential restrictions.

We have recently seen the Motorola AURA in all its expensive glory, and now there seems to be another twist in the story. The twist is thankfully just in the rumor stage, and although we are not sure it is believable, it kind of sounds like it would be something that Moto would do with a luxury handset.

The story goes that a “source close to the company” has leaked some information stating that any AURA owners will not be able to resell the phone on eBay. In fact, the source has stated that anyone who buys an AURA will have to “sign into a contract that states they can’t sell it on eBay.” Plenty more after the break.
