    This is for anyone looking for a cheap Android cell phone. Target is selling the Kyocera Hydro waterproof for $10! The phone is serviced by Boost Mobile. This is a great deal if you are on a budget, and you do not mind switching to Boost Mobile.

    I bought one for myself. At the price of $10 it was a steal. I am extremely happy with my purchase.

    What are the specs on this phone. I am wondering why it is so cheap and if it can actually handle anything more than calls or it is just one of those phones that you just have with you if you just want an extra line.

    That is so less money for a phone. What exactly does this phone have in terms of specs. I can wait to hear about it. I hope it will not break down after only a few days of using it. The price only just scares a person in to buying it. I can not use it until I read a few reviews.

    I looked up the phone, and it's not terrible, as you would expect for that sort of price.
    Why is the price so low, does it come with a high monthly payment plan or something?

    For a $10 phone its a relatively good, I mean the specs are okay, but still, its a $10 phone, they wouldn't sell a phone like that if it is worth more than $10. Maybe I'm judging early on, but my $500 iPhone broke after nearly 3 years of intensive use, so I don't think a $10 phone would be that much reliable on the durability side.

    I took a look at it. Unfortunately the offer has already expired which sucks, because that looks like a pretty good deal for a phone like that. Even if it's low level, it's easily worth at least twice the amount they're selling it for and someone could probably resell it for a bit of profit. Good to see you got one though, and I'll be waiting for another deal like this.

    Wow, nice find!

    As mentioned above, the deal has expired at this point, but i's worth keeping an eye out for a new one for anyone who would love to get this phone. $40 for a phone still isn't bad, though, if you can't find it on sale.
