Hop-on just released a cellphone that is everything the iPhone is not. The Hop1800 does not have a display and no advanced features whatsoever beyond the simple capability of making phone calls. The device is offered as a backup phone and while it won’t really impress anyone these days, it has its advantages - such as a light weight (77 grams) and 150 hours of standby.
If you think the $10 for the pre-paid phone is too much, return it to Hop-on’s recycling program and you will get $5 back.

A phone that only makes phone calls... what a novel concept.
This is madness!
THIS IS SPARTA!
"The device is offered as a backup phone and while it won?t really impress anyone these days"
As if to say it's a bad thing. Sigh humanity and its socialistic way of thought.....
-_- *facepalm*
Might actually get it. I was thinking about get a phone (so many years with out one).
Anyways... the thing about it not having a screen it perfect just because then i can ACTUALLY remember number instead of just leaving a $100 dollar phone do that job for me.
Fantastic! exactly what i believed to be a "dead good thing", a phone, that IS A PHONE! not a stupid "all in one gadget" that i wont use half of the fonctions. Really, it's one of the best gadget built since long! now just wait some time to see these things in 1$ shops
This is actually a really good idea. I know a bunch of people that don't have cell phones and this would be great for them. Just buy one and thow in a few minutes and you're good to go. I can't believe it took this long for this product to come out.
I can see people wanting this. My needs are modest but I still want more than just dialing and answering.
This is what I want someone to make. Basic caller ID, numbers directory, speakerphone, a switch between vibrate, ring and silent and that it looks like a Star Trek TOS communicator. With the flipping chirping noise
Who is this for people? People with basic landline phones without caller ID or anything else.
