Disposable Bic Pre-Charged Cellphones

Filed under: Cellphones, Design

Disposable razors, pens and even lighters just weren’t enough for Bic. No, it had to team up with Orange France to launch the Bic Phone. Due out around August 7th (in France), the Bic Phone will come in two amazing colors: disposable razor orange and Bic lighter green.  With a pre-charged battery and an hour of free calls, why would you want to chuck this cellphone in the trash? For $80, hold on to it, maybe they’ll release some flashy ring tones for it.

“Don’t expect too many features though, because Bic states that the phone’s only designed for making calls and sending text messages.”

Never mind.

Hop-on HOP1800 Cellphone Costs Ten Bucks

Filed under: Cellphones

I love how sites are calling this GSM phone the “Anti-iPhone” as the name couldn’t suit the HOP1800 better. Remember the disposable cellphone idea from years back? This is it. Ten bucks gets you a phone from Hop-on that works with over 40 carriers, including all the major players.

As you can see in the picture, there’s no display. You get four hours of talk time, 16 MIDI ringers and Braille markings on the keypad. Reasonably thin and ultimately cheap, the HOP1800 is the perfect phone for a weekend at the beach or Burning Man. Just don’t expect to be Twittering with it anytime soon.

With and without CleanBBQ

Do you think anyone wants to eat off of your grill if there’s blackened beef parts etched onto the grilling surface? Hell no. CleanBBQ offers aluminum grill linings which provide a clean surface every time you fire up the grill for some meat charring.

Aside from the fact that it will look a whole hell of a lot better, you don’t have to worry about cleaning the grill anymore. Just replace the liner and you’re good to go on to your next BBQ adventure. — Andrew Dobrow
