I think that, if a strategy or not, this is a good idea that everyone should take with us. Recycling is a must do, so everyone should participate, it doesn’t matter if it is a Nokia mobile or any other brand. Just do it.
Also, I think that every mobile brands should make more publicity to this idea. They’d get more respect and do the right thing.

Did the survey include Asian countries? I am originally from Indonesia (South East Asia). I never know people from Indonesia who recycle their phones. Normally, they just sell them. You can see a lot of second-hand phone stores in Indonesia.

Interestingly, many Indonesian now carry more than 1 phones. My mother carries 3 phones. Why? Because she needs different number (thus different phone) to call different people. For example, if she wants to call A, she has to use phone X because the rate is cheaper. If she wants to call B, she then use phone Y because of the same reason.

Recycling is putting previously used materials to use. What better way to recycle a phone than to give it away to someone else who can use it?

Of course, I properly recycle my oldest phones, which is made easier thanks to the recycling kiosks available at most Nokia sites.
