What's up everyone? All this tech running in the wild getting in on a collision course with our own very lives... Have you ever tried to teach someone how to use their smartphone or tablet when they don't have even the slightest ideea? If the answer's a "yes" with a capital Y then you know what I'm talking about, if not I can recommend this to improve one's anger management :)
Fast forward to today: How many times your smartphone got its battery drained when you need it the most? Guess the answer would be "countless". Sometimes you can blame it on the likes of "Angry Birds" or on streaming YouTube videos. However you can also get a backup dumbphone like the SpareOne phone.
The SpareOne phone was featured at CES 2012 and it can last for 15 years (no typo) on a single AA battery and all you can do with it is make and receive phone calls. Emergency calls can be made with or without a SIM card installed. The 10 hour talk time is a significant drop from 15 years, but if you are going to use it for emergencies only then the talk time is more than acceptable. The SpareOne has no display at all and looks almost like a remote control, the volume button is on the left, standard keys to accept or deny calls, number keys, power button, and it also features a lock/unlock key.
Alan Cymberknoh the designer of this device says it uses the SpareOne as a backup phone for when his iPhone runs out of juice: “I have pre-set my important numbers on it - home, office, family - so when people call me, I pick up on my SpareOne.” All this seems usefull, don't you think? See ya!
