Gadget Spyhttp://www.gadgetspy.co.uk/2008/05/26/hop-on-releases-the-5-hop1800-worldwide [Gadget Spy] There are currently two versions of the HOP1800: one a Dual-band 850/1900MHz and another meant for Europe and Asia that’s 900/1800MHz. I don’t claim to be attracted to the throwaway culture the HOP1800 is promoting, but I do commend them for offering a £2.5 rebate for every phone that’s returned for recycling.

J Gadgets[J Gadgets] The $10 pre-paid GSM handset from Hop-On: While the handset itself is selling for $10, Hop-On is also offering a $5 rebate should you choose to return the phone after using it in an effort to “keep it green,” which makes sense because at $10 simply tossing it in the trash after use, aside from filling up the landfills will not be a real loss to your wallet.
