We know that cell phones have gotten dirt cheap compared to what we had to fork out over a decade ago, but to purchase one for less than a dollar? That’s now possible with the Newsmy C100 phone from China. This pink-colored handset will target young kids and operate on the GSM 900/1800MHz frequency bands, featuring both English and Chinese languages for navigation. Features include :-

• 1.5″ TFT display with 176 x 132 resolution
• Up to 100 phonebook entries
• 180 minutes of talk time
• 75 hours of standby time
• Incoming call firewall
• Parents Control Mode
• Currency Converter
• Speakerphone

From China, eh? Hopefully it isn’t tainted with melamine or something, especially where kids are its main market target.
