Hop-on,
Inc. , the leading developer of disposable
cell phones and wireless accessories, announced the availability
of its new and improved CDMA disposable cell phone
at the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)
wireless trade show in Atlanta, Georgia.
Hop-on's new
and improved disposable/recyclable cell phone
(Model HPN1900- 03) is a dual band, tri-mode CDMA cellular handset
that operates in the 800 MHz (AMPS and CDMA) and 1900 MHz (CDMA)
frequency bands. The phone offers advanced features such as voice
feed back to the user instead of an LCD screen, audio driven MMI
and voice SMS. Hop-on's HPN1900-03 phone, the Company's lowest cost
CDMA handset, targets entry level customers in the U.S., as well
as emerging markets such as China, India and Latin America.
Dan Gannon,
Chief Executive Officer of Hop-on, commented, "After a very
successful test launch with a national
drugstore chain and being selected as one of Time magazine's
Inventions of the Year for 2001, our R&D team in Dallas refined
our original disposable/recyclable cell phone using the latest in
CDMA technology to develop a sleeker, more advanced version.
Consumer interest
remains high for those looking for a low cost alternative to traditional
cell phone contracts or pre-pay phone cards and we expect our next
generation disposable/recyclable CDMA phones to meet these needs,
while keeping pace with the advancing telecommunications market.
We will be showcasing
this phone at CTIA along with our GSM
tri-band (900/1800/1900
MHz) phones as well as a variety of innovative, value priced accessories,
including wireless surveillance systems, wireless headsets, jeweled
headsets, rapid car chargers
with retractable chords and carry
cases to appeal to a wide range of consumers. We believe Hop-on
offers the most affordable CDMA and GSM handsets in the world and
provides a compelling value proposition to its customers."
