"Disposable" Cell Phone Actually Repackaged Nokia

Posted by Hemos on Saturday March 30, 2002 @01:26AM from the reduce-reuse-repackage dept.

ewhac writes "Hop-On.com apparently started distributing the first versions of their disposable/recyclable cell phones, which will offer 60 minutes for $30. Hop-On claims their proprietary technology makes this possible. However, the San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that, upon cracking open the phones, they found not the kind of disposable cell phone technology covered earlier on Slashdot, but a jury-rigged Nokia. When confronted, Hop-On CEO Peter Michaels dodged by saying the phones the Chronicle took apart were, "promotional samples only. They are not Hop-On production phones." The article also calls into serious question Hop-On's other claims, and also points out California revoked Hop-On's corporate status last month."

PLEASE SPINY NORMAN @ MAD SCIENTIST DOT COM, HELP ME BE AS SMART AS YOU.

So fucking ZANY, you are. But not just crazy zany, smart zany, like a MAD SCIENTIST kind of cleverness.

Man I wish I was you. How nice to be so fucking bright that you can judge other people's intellect from a single post on a shitty news site.

Since you're so smart, tell me this:

How many guys do you think fucked your mother before she accidentally got pregnant with you?
