I bought 3 of these [0] for £10 each from phones4u the other day, they are a whole lot more functional than the phone in the video at the bottom.

They also came with a SIM card with £5 credit, on Orange. So in the UK, it's actually cheaper to buy one of these and do Orange Wednesdays if you and your friend plan to go to the cinema twice ever, than to buy full price tickets.

Well, the little black 'phone' in the article is actually a spy device. If you put a SIM in it to give it a number, you can then call it at any point, and it will silently answer and you can listen in to what's happening.

Which is really too bad. Make one with a button that calls a single number programmed in via the usb connection and it would be a sweet little communicator. Parents would love to strap one on their kid(s).
