CELL PHONE REVIEWS

The Cheapest Phone Ever

When it comes to cheap phones, there’s one that’s unbeatable. For only $10 you can get Hop-On’s Hop1800, the phone known as the Anti-iPhone. And it’s now been released worldwide, to, we guess, spread chaos among phone companies.
There is nothing fancy about this phone. You usually hear that when talking about one of the low-line Sony Ericsson or Nokia phones, and it’s usually just a statement indicating that it doesn’t have a camera or Wi-Fi or something fancy like that. But in this case, it’s all true: there is nothing fancy about this particular phone: no camera, no video or audio playback, no sound recorder, no internet connection or even cute ringtones. It doesn’t even have a screen, so you can’t text from it. It’s a phone that takes the term “mobile telephone” and makes it mean no more than what it means: a mobile device that allows to talk to someone that’s somewhere else.
Hop-On has no illusions that the phone will ever be popular or cool, they’re just providing a product that’s marketable as a backup phone for people who often lose their phones, to have it stored somewhere handy in case your battery runs out and you need to make that important call, or some other scenario – maybe a cheap birthday gift?
And for those of you thinking this phone’s a joke, here’s the punchline: if $10 isn’t cheap enough for you, you can return it to the company for recycling purposes, and get 5$ back.
