I bought a pretty great Android cellphone, brand new, contract free, with a SIM card for $10 only 3 months ago with free shipping. It was discussed on Hacker News and other tech news sites at the time. In various threads people and even some tech journalists claimed it was a scam, would end up costing more, wasn't really $10, would not work just as a wifi device if you didn't activate it, or that developer tools would somehow be disabled. Some of the articles got hostile with anyone that reported it actually worked fine and really did cost only $10. Well here it is several months later and not only is my total investment still $10, but I've got it set up with free texting, a free telephone plan, and I am using it to target for Android development with no problems. And it works very well as a nice mp3 player with high quality sound, internet browser, voice recorder, and bluetooth robot controller as well. What it doesn't have is a good camera, the camera is OK outdoors and very poor indoors. But good optics cost money so that is not surprising. I'm done arguing with people though, especially the tech journalists that didn't know what they were talking about, arguing and making accusations against those who were reporting actual first hand experience. Crazy stuff.
