A smartphone (Ringing Bells Freedom 251) at Rs 251 was a jaw-dropping headline. Touted as the
world’s cheapest smartphone, the price point naturally raised eyebrows –
and hopes. Excitement was mixed with skepticism; through the day, there
were more people asking questions than answering them.
This is
not the first time that controversy has surrounded a new company. Two years ago, social networking platform
WorldFloat claimed to have 6 million users and valued at $300 million.
It was nothing but a static page. The phone can be booked on the website , www.freedom 251.com till 21st Feb (Sunday). Freedom 251 clocked 30,000 orders
before the website crashed owing to the massive traffic it received. The
server couldn’t take the curiosity of audience and collapsed against
the flood of 6 lakh hits per second! With a shipping charge of Rs 40,
one unit of Freedom 251 cost Rs 291, so the company collected Rs
8,730,000 before the crash.
Freedom 251 has been trending on social media for the last two days
and has also sounded the alarm to a potential scam.
