Who is the carrier?

Or do you get to pick?

 

[Lili Marlene]

The website is unclear but they have this:

Friends & Partners:
A’Hong
O2 / Telefonica
KPN
Vodafone
Phone coop
VJ Movement

I don't think it's been launched in the US yet.

one of the features i look for in a smart phone is slick design, durability and a lack of social conscience. i have no interest in this.

€900-1000+ for most high-end phones without a contract.

but yeah, you're paying extra for the "fair" bit.

Don't you end up paying that over the course of your contract anyway?

i paid £3.95 for a phone that can do calls and texts and has a battery that lasts for two weeks instead of half a day

 

[Lili Marlene]

I wonder how long my battery would last on my phone if I only used it for calls and texts? Probably get a few days out of it if I turned off all the wi-fi and 3g and everything.

I get about 40 minutes out of my battery. It’s a work phone so I’m internetting the fuck out of it like a bad boy
