Am I the only one that’s a little disturbed by the concept of throwaway phones? You know, the junkie little phones that you find in your local gas station that come loaded with an hour or so of minutes. Well the concept is so popular that even BIC has hopped on the bandwagon.
I’m not really sure what prompted the company most well-known for their cheap pens and disposable razors to make a cell phone, but it will be available in Europe starting next month for around $80. Out of the box it has 60 minutes already loaded and a full battery, so you need do nothing more than start dialing. Once your minutes are up you can just toss the phone (I’d suggest recycling it) or you can activate it through Orange to keep using it.
perfect for all my assassination/espionage work…
geez and i thought we were trying to save the earth not make more useless product.
Hooray, more trash! Good job bic! Up next, disposable laptops!
I bought a Shick razor the other day and it came with a free pair of headphones. I’m still trying to figure that one out.
I second Matt comment. ti is far for being environmentally friendly.
