Even if they are not in demand any more, I think they should still have some useful features such as camera and playing music, etc. But the selling price is only about 1 USD, incredibly cheap!
I've never heard of "Galapagos Phones" before, so I just try to search more information about them online. It shows:
The mobile industry in Japan was often described as 'Galapagos' because it evolved in isolation from the rest of the world, adapting to the local environment similar to the animals discovered by Charles Darwin on the Galapagos Islands that helped to formulate his theory of evolution.
It is really interesting for me to know the phone name "Galapagos" is derived from "Galapagos Islands". Thanks to your wonderful blogs!
