The Hop-on HOP1900 Graffiti phone that brought the convenience of disposable mobile phones to the US is apparently set to make a trip across the pond. Thanks to an initial test-order of 10,000 units, and unnamed distributor has made the commitment to bring the super-cheap, display-less Hop-on disposable cellphone to Europe.
Of course, the Euro-version of the Hop-on HOP1900 will sport a Texas Instruments-sourced GSM radio compatible on the 900/1800Mhz frequencies that Europeans are so fond of. And, without a pricey display to have to offset, the $20 (13 EUR) price point of the Hop-on handset makes it truly cheap enough to throw away (or recycle).
