Hop-On Mobile releases $10 HOP1800, the "anti-iPhone"
Don't worry if you've never heard of 'em, but Hop-On's got a new $10 disposable cellphone that goes by the name of HOP1800. Dual-band on 850/1900 or 900/1800, featuring totally rad vibrating or polyphonic MIDI ringing, Hop-On's billing this one as the "anti-iPhone"; we're not exactly sure what makes this the anti-iPhone other than the fact that it, um, doesn't actually do anything (except make calls), but hey, sounds like an easy way to sell some throwaway handsets.

Finally, after some 8 years of iHop claiming to be close to marketing the first disposable cellphone. I think I gave up on them about 2 years ago. Hope its worth the long time I put off replacing my 3rd lost Tracfone..

This is a pump and dump stock scam. The product is strictly vapor, from a group of people with a dishonest history.

I don't get it. They already do pancakes and other stuff perfectly fine, why would they get into cell phones?
