Mobile phone ingenuity in Africa
well what a nice post for me combining my interest in development issues and mobile technology to items of interest on this post. With a recycling and possibly benevolent hacking.

Firstly dual sim
This product has two SIM card slots in a single phone - primarily to
support price sensitive/prudent consumers who wish to optimise their
call costs by maintaining SIM cards from two different phone operators.
As in many countries - calls to a customer using a different Ghanaian
operator cost slightly more than those on the same network.

The village phone project in Uganda is also trailed well worth a look

whats interesting in the role of Nokia actually looking at how users are using phone rather than telling them what to do with them.
