A mobile phone that's so retro it's not even mobile
Update: According to DMEurope the GSM function is based on the GM862 GSM/GPRS module from Telit that can be programmed using the Python script language, yet the editor has misunderstood how it's used though (the phone is sold complete).Or, it's as much a mobile/portable phone as Osbourne-1 was a portable computer.
Note the lack of a high-resolution display for web browsing etc, and that it also lacks a camera, but you can at least make voice calls. Considering a mobile phone that can only do voice calls cost less than $100 w/o subscription (and doesn't even even exist) you pay a lot for the red plastic and the rotary.
Note "This phone is for entertainment purposes only!" but I've actually seen others sell these kinds of "mobile" phones for elderly etc.
