Not sure how we missed this cause it’s pretty interesting. Nevertheless we’re going with this news even though it’s not as hot as it used to be 10 days ago…
Imagine a high-end smartphone with a dual-core processor, huge touchscreen, LTE data and a ton of built-in storage. SpareOne phone is a complete opposite – it’s a super-basic feature phone with two neat extras:
- It runs off a single AA battery while providing up to 10 hours of talk time
- Its battery shelf life lasts 15 years (with Energizer Ultimate Lithium L91)
As such, the SpareOne is touted as the “first spare mobile phone,” the one all of us should have in his bag/purse just in case something happens. It’s a GSM-based device, meaning the SpareOne will work with most networks in the world, excluding the likes of Sprint and Verizon Wireless. In other words, you can use it in the U.S. but only with a SIM card from operators like T-Mobile and AT&T.
As for the pricing and availability, the SpareOne will go on sale some time in Q1 2012 for $49.99…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
