Hop-On, makers of uber cheap throwaway cell phones, are expanding their line to include uber cheap smartphones and 3g phones.
The HOP 1801 smartphone will sell for $125 bucks. Details in the press release are limited, but a bit of URL tinkering on Hop-On’s site leads to the above image and the following specs (screenshot):
* OS: Smart NX Mobile (Linux)
* Platform: AP (Chipnuts Processor C7280)
* Band: GSM Tri band 900/1800/1900 MHz
* Dimension: 116mm (D) x64mm (W) x14mm (H)
* Display: 2.5 inch QVGA 320*240 262K TFT (Touch Screen)
* Camera: CMOS 2M pixels
* External memory slot: Micro SD
* Ring tone: Midi 64 Polyphonic
Also announced is the 1809 3G Camera phone, along with a bunch of disposable GSM phones.
Try as we might, we can’t actually find anywhere to buy Hop-On handsets. A good chunk of the images on their site are mockups. Anyone know if these are anything more than vapor?







Total Vaporware IMHO
Lots of emails sent to these guys for catalogues/wholesale pricing etc.
Nothing back, not even an acknowledgement.
