Look at that! $10, no screen, nothing. Seems cool... and cheap!
Too bad they aren't available in my country... they'd be a GREAT success :)

What do you think of this iPhone killer?

Lashiec:
o_O, a disposable mobile phone... Apart from the environmental concerns, I guess it could be VERY useful for lots of people who only wants a mobile phone, plain and simply.

Oh, I forgot... You get a $5 rebate if you return it :)

There are a number of companies that have prepaid phone plans in which the phone itself is around $10-$20, and they give you a choice of which phone you want.

They even sell them in the supermarket near my house, as well as the cards to recharge them.

Lashiec:
Yeah, back in the early days of the GSM phones, the big stores here (think Wal-Mart) were giving the phones for free, in exchange for signing up a contract, of course.
