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.
