A $20 phone by SPICE...!!!

A lot of things happened at the Mobile World Congress last week. Significant among them; Spice Telecom unveiled a $20 mobile phone targeted at Indian users.
Being called a "People's Phone", the Spice phone is basically like a landline with all mobile phone features minus the add-ons. The company has done away with the screen, and instead, has integrated an audio program that announces the digits dialed by the user.
IANS quoted B K Modi, chairman of Spice Telecom, as saying that in spite of taking various measures to cut down on the price of the handset, they believe the handset will still be a technologically advanced instrument. In Modi's view, the phone will not only prove that India is equipped to give the best in technology but also the cheapest and at the most competitive price.
When it launches commercially, the $20 phone will have a range of color options to choose from, and will be compatible with all types of SIM cards.
Spice also announced that a Braille version of its phone will be introduced around the same time for visually impaired users.
Additionally, Spice has unveiled a movie mobile phone touted as the world's first phone targeted at entertainment freaks. This phone sports a 2.8-inches TFT screen, and can be loaded with removable optical mini-discs to enjoy up to 3.5 hours of DVD-quality movies. From: Techtree
