I can think of better ways to spend 243..000 dollars.

My spare wheelchair is up for sale, it has my name scratched on it, any offers????

Dual Sim? And what flavour of Android is it running?

I wonder if it was found in South America?

Well, they've been after Trump to get a new phone.  Probably a gift from Steve Bannon.

'The buyer, Mr. Paddy O'Toole, said "Who knew the Nokia 3310 was that old?"'.

 

 

I wonder if that 243K USD has ended up on the same expenditure list in a foundation that bought a 6ft tall portrait of the Foundations owner?

Is it a Heilphone?
