Hop-on, a developer and marketer of wireless phones and accessories, revealed its new series of phones today. The phones range from the Disposable HOP1800 phone, which retails for $10, to the HOP1809, a 3G phone for under $125.

 

Peter Michaels, president of Hop-on, explained, "We are constantly striving to bring the best technology into the hands of the consumer at the lowest price possible. I think we have hit a homerun with our new line of phones, especially the HOP1809."

 

Compared to the iPhone (News - Alert), the HOP1809 is smaller in length and width. With 3G technology, the HOP1809 gives users a variety of services, including video calls, wireless data, and faster delivery speeds on both the down and uplink, all in a sleek-looking, lightweight, aluminum package.

 

Michaels further stated, "Unlike the iPhone, the camera view finder at the front of the HOP1809 has the capability of facilitating true video conference calls. I'm really excited with this new series."

 

Currently in production, the 1800 Series of Hop-on phones will be available everywhere by 3Q 2008. Hop-on will be debut in the U.S. at the MLB All-star game at Yankee stadium in New York City, the weekend of July 14^th.

 

Hop-on is best known for developing the world's first disposable cell phone. HOP-ON is currently looking into adding value-added services, like mobile gambling and SMS wagering. Hop-on’s exclusive software will allow users to stream live interactive feed from legal jurisdictions to play poker, blackjack, roulette and baccarat on personal cell phones.
