The cell phone boards fetch 3x what the lg socket mobos do but it could be a problem to source enough cell phones to make up just one of pound of boards. The other thing is labor. I can scrap an old tower in less than seven minutes and rack up a pound of boards. Can't imagine the amount of time it would take to get through all those cell phones.

I think you would have to do the disassembly with a robot. Either that or just chuck em' in a grinder and somehow separate the granules mechanically & chemically ?

See ... the trend for tech has been from large to small. That doesn't bode particularly well for the future of the Ewaste industry.
I would consider your comparision like trying to compare apples and oranges
