[]Urgent "need" finds a saleable solution
Marketing 101
You also need a market in a sh*thole country for this product.
There is a similar situation here in Vietnam.
First let me say, there is very little crime here. Really safe. For real, despite having some of the most bizarre traffic in the world.
But cell phones will be swiped right out of your hand, on the street. Happened to me. Twice. Held onto the replacement, though got knocked around a bit. For about two years, I used a very simple cell phone. That is what people use on the streets here. Simple and cheap.
Fancier cell phones are used in coffee shops and places like that, and I have since upgraded once again. But I am (very) cautious now. I never, ever used my phone on the street now.
Will repeat though, basically it is very VERY safe here. But phones will get snatched.
If you let them.
Won’t THAT be fun in Mountain View and Cupertino in 5 years..!
No duh!
Finally, some non-Fake News
Make the fake phones exploding with remote detonation and it would be a real winner.
These phones would be popular in Minneapolis for students at the University to hand over when attacked by marauding Somali yutes wielding hammers.
Capitalism 101:
Find a need and fill it.....................
It's gotta have a 7-megapixel camera, or no deal.
This is the culture democrats are importing into our country...
My flip phone is probably safe. They’d laugh and return it with an apology.
Good idea.
I haven’t carried a purse in 40 years. Wallet, keys, & phone go in front pants pockets.
