i was always wondering if such device existed; perhaps some ingenious chinese maker would have already developed one. but it was to a dutch company the credit of making first simplest phone in the world goes. this phone is called 'john's phone' and is being dubbed as anti-iphone. reason- it has absolutely no feature except making calls. not even ability to send or receive sms. makers seem to have eaten humble pie as they have not given any wonderful statements about this gadget. they simply say, it can be a child's first phone. but honestly speaking, like me, there are many others who just like a basic, err, very basic mobile phone. now i realise why mobile phone operators give its users option of calling in to hear current balance :)
but in my view , the strangest part is phonebook of john's phone. it is literally a paper pen phonebook where one must write numbers to refer. wonderful idea- or possibly slightly outdated.
it's on offer at £67 when this post was written. this phone is out there not to take any market share, mostly it won't find more than a few thousand buyers, but it has left imprint on media being one of the coolest devices out there in the market.
