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 ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.prntscr.com%2Fimg%3Furl%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fns1kyQ1.png&t=663&c=gASyJCOLsSRdGw) 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 ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.prntscr.com%2Fimg%3Furl%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FAPvxwcJ.png&t=663&c=KCfr7xlIBZSAbw) This would cost you about 1.5 BTCWould 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!

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.

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. ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

You can check if the payment was done through the blockchain API.

They are new. They are just 1:1 clones of the originals. Yeah, the Chinese are good at this ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

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.

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 ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

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.

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.

It didn't really bother me though as it was still good enough.

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?
