Probably the cheapest phone in the market so far — Talk N Text’s today launched a co-branded mobile handset they aptly called Panalo Phone.
The handsets are simple candybar phones which were co-branded with Cherry Mobile and ZTE. The phones are also locked to the TNT network and it’s highly likely the telco is subsidizing for the cost of the handset.
The one in the photo is one of two cellphones in the Panalo Phone line-up (a Cherry Mobile B1). Single-SIM and very light, they only cost a mere Php499USD 9INR 721EUR 8CNY 62.
I am told they won’t be normally sold in stores but will be targeted to markets in the provinces with a direct-to-home sales approach. So if you’re in the rural areas, expect a knock on the door with one of them sales people peddling Php500USD 9INR 722EUR 8CNY 62 phones to your entire family.
The move should increase cellphone penetration outside the cities and hopefully increase the average monthly usage of prepaid users.

Just goes to show that despite all the rage in smartphones, there’s still a huge market for basic phones in the countryside.
Will Globe hit back through it’s TM brand?

They are doing what U.S. are doing today…providing “disposable” phones to others.

bought this yesterday on a smart wireless center and was real disappointed. the keypad of this phone will surely make your thumbs sore…the rubber keypad is just so hard to press. maybe i’ll just plan to give this to my little brother.
Kathleen says:
I thought this will be available march 21 and only by door to door sales of smart. How come you bought one already?
alt-tab boy says:
@Kathleen
i bought it at a smart wireless center here in sta. lucia grand east. i don’t know why they carrying these phones so early there. out of my sheer curiosity, i just bought it really disappointed with the phone, you see..
