Title: Cheap Smartphones and android phones for bitcoin? Post by: egyproductions on May 11, 2015, 01:19:07 AM How about a whole new online marketplace for affordable smart phones which you can buy with bitcoin?
Me and a few developers are thinking of starting an online Affordable electronics and cell phone store selling exclusively with btc. here is an example http://img.prntscr.com/img?url=https://i.imgur.com/ns1kyQ1.png Here are a list of this features Display Size: 5.0 ROM: 256MB RAM: 256MB Display Resolution: 800x480 CPU: Dual Core Design: Bar Feature: with MP3 with Touch Screen Gravity Response Video Player with WiFi Color Screen with Bluetooth Google Play Store with FM Radio With Ebook Front Camera with Qwerty with Email MMS Camera Pixels: 5.0MP Memory Card up to: 32G Operation System: Android Sim Card: Mini SIM Network: GSM900 GSM1800 GSM1900 GSM850 Recording Definition: 480P Battery: 2800 This would cost you about 0.3714 BTC With free shipping. Other cool stuff like This 300w Wind turbine http://img.prntscr.com/img?url=https://i.imgur.com/APvxwcJ.png This would cost you about 1.5 BTC Would also be selling speakers, earphones LCD tvs and every other kind of electronic appliance you can think of Any thoughts? Would suck a website be of any interest to you? Thanks for reading! Title: Re: Cheap Smartphones and android phones for bitcoin? Post by: OROBTC on May 11, 2015, 01:53:01 AM ...
I just came back from Peru. The BIGGEST billboard at their main airport highlighted new cellphone hand-sets from Huawei (China, Cisco's big competitor and technology-thief). iApple and Samsung now have a problem... If BTC hang ins in there another year or so OK (probable), than almost anyone with $100 (cheapest in Peru) would be able to get a smart phone that could use Bitcoin. Title: Re: Cheap Smartphones and android phones for bitcoin? Post by: dothebeats on May 11, 2015, 01:56:13 AM I know a similar service like this already exists, just forgot the website. In there, you could by a cheap phone or an expensive laptop, depends on what your budget is. Idk if it is a legit service though.
Oh wait I remember now, it is named Coins for Tech. Just forgot their domain name. ??? Title: Re: Cheap Smartphones and android phones for bitcoin? Post by: egyproductions on May 11, 2015, 02:16:39 AM Yep

You can check if the payment was done through the blockchain API. Title: Re: Cheap Smartphones and android phones for bitcoin?

Some people have tried this in the computer field. eg : http://ibnlive.in.com/news/chip-the-worlds-cheapest-computer-9-1ghz-processor-512mb-of-ram-4gb-storage-wifi/544881-11.html What more do you need for simple Bitcoin transactions? ;D .... Well FREE internet and electriicity will help. ;D Title: Re: Cheap Smartphones and android phones for bitcoin?

My friend got one of those fake Samsung S3 (or something like that, the costly one) and the touchscreen broke in a few days and it stopped receiving calls a few days after that.

Hmm, that depends, mostly on your luck. I got 2 Samsung Note 3 clones, one for me one for my sister. My sister dropped hers and broke the screen, the phone still works just fine though, even though the screen is cracked. I was careful with mine yet my screen got fucked, it wouldn't work properly. So like I said, it's a matter of luck. The Chinese make good clones, it's just that some of them might come out faulty. That goes with everything though. My Mercedes came out to be faulty from the factory and it's not Chinese. Title: Re: Cheap Smartphones and android phones for bitcoin?

Yeap, but you have to send it back to the manufacturer on your expense, and wait for it to come back. You are better off just getting a new clone ;) Title: Re: Cheap Smartphones and android phones for bitcoin? Post by: defcon23 on May 11, 2015, 07:13:07 AM have you still got these items in stock ? what about shipping to France?
Cheers ! Title: Re: Cheap Smartphones and android phones for bitcoin? Post by: Daniel91 on May 11, 2015, 07:17:42 AM It seems like very good idea and I think many bitcoin users will be very happy to use their BTC funds to buy such smartphone.
I'm just concerned about shipping. Are you really sure that you will be able to send your smartphone in any part of the world for free? Price is really fair and very good, similar like prices for smartphones in my country. Title: Re: Cheap Smartphones and android phones for bitcoin?

You are better off just getting a new clone ;) Here we only have to give it to the nearby service center and they usually fix it in 4-5 days. I did it for my camera and I assume the same procedure holds for everything else. As far as clone goes, it then depends what is the cost rartio with the original. If it is some 20-30% then it is tempting. Title: Re: Cheap Smartphones and android phones for bitcoin?

I got the clone for $150 :o :o :o Do however keep in mind that it is not the same performance. The clone has lower performance. It didn't really bother me though as it was still good enough. Title: Re: Cheap Smartphones and android phones for bitcoin? Post by: Amph on May 11, 2015, 08:42:06 AM could this provide the bigger smartphone too at a better price? like samsung galaxy s4 or s5
or it is only for the cheap ones? Title: Re: Cheap Smartphones and android phones for bitcoin?

At those prices it is worth taking one and trying out for sure. If it looks the same it may help impress the friends by having the latest overpriced model ;D Title: Re: Cheap Smartphones and android phones for bitcoin?

Hell, it even comes with the manual. But the only difference is the performance like I said. Less ram, slower cpu. But still good enough. Title: Re: Cheap Smartphones and android phones for bitcoin? Post by: bitbets on May 11, 2015, 12:17:42 PM Smartphones are a popular item these days, the local mall has about 6 kiosks selling smartphones, in addition to their regular store that sells them. Are there that many customers, what is the competition like? I imagine they must be making a buck, or else there wouldn't be so many of them? But maybe some of them are taking a loss, or financed through stock exchanges? Title: Re: Cheap Smartphones and android phones for bitcoin? Post by: Purple Wayne on May 11, 2015, 12:27:42 PM Coins for tech sell a lot of phones exclusively for bitcoin http://coinsfortech.com/product-category/mobile-phones/
Though maybe you could set up a site solely for cheaper models. They do sell a Huawei model but it doesn't look cheap to me http://coinsfortech.com/product-category/mobile-phones/?filter_brand=225 Title: Re: Cheap Smartphones and android phones for bitcoin? Post by: Jeremycoin on May 11, 2015, 01:18:33 PM This phone is so suitable for me, the spec and price is balanced.
I will be this phone as soon after the launching, and of course as soon as I have the money ;D Title: Re: Cheap Smartphones and android phones for bitcoin? Post by: egyproductions on May 11, 2015, 09:28:50 PM Thanks for all your helpful input.
Yes all items are still in stock, i called a few suppliers today and yes we will sell Iphones and Samsung phones too, but and at a cheap price too. Some lenova phones will cost about 0.7 BTC too. Website is currently under development and a coming soon page will be launched. Ill make sure i update this post when we launch the website. We will only be selling in bitcoin, we wont accept credit cards. Our culture will be based on helping bitcoin make it up there, by providing cheap services only purchasable in bitcoin should be helpful. Right? Title: Re: Cheap Smartphones and android phones for bitcoin? Post by: alani123 on May 11, 2015, 09:35:05 PM OP, seeing that you're dealing with electronics and especially smartphones, I have a suggestion for you.
Phones from Chinese companies can reach the highest standards phones from major companies have set but with a fraction of the price. In the past, I've paid other people (in BTC) to ship me phones from China becauss stores there wouldn't accept bitcoin. Have a look here http://chinese-smartphones.com/ to get an idea of what I'm talking about. Most of those deal online and you could easily become a reseller. Title: Re: Cheap Smartphones and android phones for bitcoin? Post by: egyproductions on May 17, 2015, 11:43:10 AM Ok so we are launching soon, and i said i would update this thread, so here a link for more information
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1063351.0 Title: Re: Cheap Smartphones and android phones for bitcoin? Post by: egyproductions on May 17, 2015, 11:44:53 AM Yeah, we decided to get most of our products from Chinese companies, but we had to pick the good quality ones, since the bad ones are worth it, to point paying even 1 dollar for a phone that will work for 2 weeks then break.
