I was in Australia Post at The Glen and saw this phone for $5. Comes with $10 starter credit. Icon Nero mobile phone is currently locked to Boost.

The full list of specs include:

3.5″ TFT screen display (480 x 320)
1.0GHz dual core MT6572M CPU
512MB RAM
4GB memory with 2GB user space, expandable to 32GB via MicroSD Card
2MP Rear camera
Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0
Connectivity:
    3G UMTS: 850, 2100 MHz
    2G GSM: 900, 1800, 1900 MHz

1200 mAh Li-ion Battery

Sorry, I picked up the only one at The Glen.

Seem to be available at Big W for $49 and they may price match

At Target as well

  Locked to boost ? Will AldiMobile or Telstra work?

    With such modest specs, i'd have thought 'no 4g' would be the least of your worries.

      just thinking because 2G is being phased out and 3G is also being phased out in the next few years..

        ….and 4G will be phased out after 3G after few more years

  Anybody knows if there is a way to check stock for auspost stores somehow? Or if it is even possibly available in other stores? Looks like an awesome offer to be used as MP3 player for the kids ;)

  is it better than the telstra tempo as a wifi kid gaming device?

  Not available at that price in two Auspost stores in Perth. Instead they scan at $49.

    I wonder if it's a pricing error at The Glen store?.

•

  FYI - Bagman unlocked it $2.63.

  Not sure if it was a pricing error. It was in the glass cabinet with a barcode label on the shelf which said $5. I asked the lady if that was correct and she said it was because it was old stock.

  512MB RAM will make you want to use a fax machine instead of this…and with 2GB internal free space, good luck with apps too
