Hop-on's $13.99 HOP1811 makes calls faster than any other handset in the world

Aw, snap! Just what we've been waiting for! Forget that BlackBerry Storm. Overlook the Touch HD. The real iPhone killer has finally arrived in the Hop-on HOP1811. Taking off where the HOP1800 left off, this revamped "anti-iPhone" packs GSM connectivity, a Graffiti Wireless Airtime Plan, 4-hours of talk time (150-hours in standby), support for polyphonic ring tones and an almost unbelievable $13.99 price tag. And check out the bold words passed on by the outfit's CEO: "I challenge anyone to make a call faster than on the HOP1811." You hear that? That's a dare, son.

Fail of Epic proportions...

I'm not all that impressed by what the Hop-On CEO has to say about the HOP1811. What does impress me are my unanswered emails seeking information about the availability of the HOP1811 cell phone. I have yet to find a single retailer in my area that carries the HOP1811 cell phone. This situation flies in the face of HopOn's own web site that states the HOP1811 cell phone is available NOW. If the cell phone is available NOW, then where are they? A simple enough question to answer, and yet no response from the company.
