The $15 Cell Phone

While some of us are out smashing iPads with golf clubs, people in other parts of the world can't afford fancy new pieces of technology to smash.

That's why Vodafone has created a cell phone it can sell for under $15.  The idea is to make cell phones affordable in places like India, Turkey and Africa.

Watching (the not particularly exciting) video above, basically these phone just remind me of my first ever cell phone: the Nokia 5110 I got back in 1998 (which I'd be willing to sell you for way less than $15).

So sure, people in Turkey won't be able to use their phones to access the Internet, but I bet they'll love playing Snake!

Snake!!
