What, you mean most people here think that mobile phones aren't disposable? Wow....
It's basically a PAYG phone, stripped down. Selling for US$40. BTW - do Pay As You Go (prepay) phones exist in the US? I don't know... I never imagined that they would be a popular idea, or even sold. Hmm. Nice idea, I guess. Though the only reason I can see it selling in a big way, is with tourists who don't have a phone that will work in the US (tri-band). I know I'd find it useful if I were on holiday there and didn't buy another tri-band h/set.
