Well, now we know what Toshiba was up to when it released that wacky G450 HSDPA modem / cellphone hybrid — it was an overt challenge to see if even the silliest products would be copied by the Shenzhen KIRF outfits. A challenge that’s been met with vigor, it seems: check out the “M688″ here, which has all of the G450’s useless control layout with even less functionality — it can’t be used as a modem. $66 is all it takes to convince your friends you’ve totally lost it.
