John’s phone is for idiots!


To all you fellow noobs out there have you ever wondered why there are so many features in a simple mobile phone? My sweet dad still lugs around his 15 year old Motorola. I have coaxed him into changing the phone and his staple reply has always been, “I can still make calls right?”
Well one such non-believer in advancements in technology and gone ahead and created the John’s phone. It is stripped of all the value-added attachments like music player, video, camera and even text-messaging!

Touted as the ‘world’s simplest cellphone’, this contraption just jumps in the backward direction by two decades and tries to act smart. It is like the manufacturer’s are making fun of us, this goddamn phone can’t even save contacts and it provides us with pen and paper to write down our contacts. It doesn’t even have a screen and you know what it is priced at unbelievable Rs 5000 to Rs 7600 (depending on the kind of model we choose)!
Complete thumbs down to this idiotic product. If you really want to buy a similar phone go and check the new mobile offering by i-ball similar to the John’s phone called “Aasan”. Noobcentral thinks that it makes more sense to buy the i-ball one which is priced at Rs 3600 and offers some features like emergency calling for elderly people.
