Dummy phones - €2 !!

long_b · 2009-01-13 17:24:59

The Telephone Center have a box of dummy phones selling for 2 euro each. Class for practical joking (pint swimming anyone ?), or even checking the wife's reactions to another new phone. I got an E71 - saw an E66 there too.

In fairness I have heard of people being shown a perfect phone, and then its stuck in a bag and handed to them when they hand over money. The bag just has something of similiar weight in it. Yes, you'd want to be stupid to buy a phone on the street, but some people dont understand "too good to be true"
