Phone maker Hop-on Inc. apparently found success at CTIA in Las Vegas with its disposable cell-phone concept, a $25 (13 euros) phone with no LCD screen that can be thrown away or recycled after use. The company said on Thursday that a European distributor has purchased 10,000 of the phones for an initial test run. The phone uses a Texas Instruments chip set and works on the 900/1800 MHz frequency.
Hop-On markets the phone as an ideal choice for kids, teens, seniors, and world travellers. If you ask me, it also sounds like a good option for anyone who… well… may not want the government tracking their activities, if you know what I mean. [Telecoms.com]
