    The concept has potential but the pricing is way, way off.

    Firstly, don’t charge a price for the device. People already have phones and aren’t replacing them with this.

    Also, wtf are they thinking with $700?!!! The thing is a bit of plastic, battery and tiny motherboard. That’s like €50 tops.

    Secondly, charge $30 a month subscription only. Breakdown: $10 a month for the SIM, $5 a month for the device, €15 a month for R&D/marketing/staff/profits. Total €30.

    Of course they would need to sell millions to make it worthwhile, but at least they’d stand a chance.
