Canadian carrier Solo Mobile is about to offer its remaining customers the chance to purchase a new phone, the Samsung S275.

Alas, Samsung S275 is obsolete before it even goes on sale. It appears that the carrier wishes to take its customers back in time with at least 10 years. Technologically speaking, of course.

We doubt that anyone would want to buy this “creature” of the past, but if any Solo Mobile customer out there wishes to give this one a try, MobileSyrup reports that the flip phone will be available starting February 21 for around $100/€75outright.

Specs-wise, Samsung S275 does not stand out and there’s nothing we can say that will make it look worthy enough for its price. It comes with a VGA camera, two small displays and a decent keypad.

Here's my take on this. Beleive it or not there are some people who have no interest in a smartphone. They don't want to watch videos on a dinky screen, play with apps when they should working, listen to music in an imferior format (MP3), or even connect with their friends on privacy robbing FB. They just want a simple phone for voice calls. Try and find such a straightforward device anywhere these days. It is near nigh impossible. Perhaps THAT is the market Samsung is trying to service with this phone.
