 A new cellphone for Ox?
Article title: Vodafone 150 lays claim to 'world's cheapest phone' I immediately thought of Ox.  looks like something Ox would carry  |  |  |  | Quote: There are only two possible reasons for why a gadget freak like you would want a cheap phone: you're either a very sensible person (who probably got mugged once), or you're saving up for the phone of your life. Oh, who are we kidding? We all want a nice phone for next to nothing, right? The legendary Motorola MOTOFONE came close, but check out these new bad boys -- the sub-$15 Vodafone 150 and the sub-$20 250, produced by TCL. Fine, they may look more like toys than your everyday eye candy, but you do get five hours of battery, SMS, two games on that mini monochrome screen, and even an LED torch on the back -- and what's more, the lowly 150 is claiming the holy grail "world's cheapest phone" title that every manufacturer with an interest in emerging markets would kill to own. For an extra $5 there's even a larger screen in color (!), not to mention FM radio. If you want one, you better start flying walking to either India, Turkey or Africa where the phones will be launched over the next few weeks, or you can just gaze at Fonehome's hands-on video of the 150 after the break. |  |  |  |  |

 Re: A new cellphone for Ox?
Hmm, they should do the same thing but with larger buttons - it'd fly off the scale with sales to oap's!

 Re: A new cellphone for Ox?
Fuck yes I'd buy that  Too bad it doesn't really say the price anywhere - the fact that it's being launched in China and India doesn't really fill me with confidence either.  Even without buying all these fancy gadgets (phones with colour and shit) my savings account is growing only very steadily...either you guys are all loaded/have no savings/I'm doing something very wrong.  P.S. Wasn't it like 4 AM Texas time when Satis posted this? Wtf? Not even I stay up that late on weekdays!

 Re: A new cellphone for Ox?
It does - it says sub $15 for the monochrome one, and sub $20 for the colour one!

 Re: A new cellphone for Ox?
Oh, thanks! The $ sign looks weird in this font, I thought "Sub-S 15" was a series or line name.

Makes sense. They did this with laptops and cars.

 Re: A new cellphone for Ox?
I posted that in the afternoon sometime, not 4am.  I knew you'd like it!
