YotaPhone Launches Indiegogo Campaign for YotaPhone 2

May 19, 2015, 8:12 AM by Eric M. Zeman

YotaPhone today initiated an Indiegogo campaign for the YotaPhone 2. The company said earlier this year it intended to bring the YotaPhone 2 to certain markets via the crowd-funding site, and today it made good on its word. Early backers can score the YotaPhone 2 for $500, though the number of handsets available at that price is limited to 100. Most of the available stock costs $550. Yotaphone said it will ship the YotaPhone 2 to Indiegogo investors in early August, which is "just ahead of [our] general launch in North America." The YotaPhone 2 is unique because it has two screens: a standard display on the front and an e-ink display on the back to help save battery life.

LOL

All I can say is HAHAHAHEHEHEHOHOHO. Yotaphone? Indiegogo? 100 units. Who in their right mind thinks this will be successful? One screen with e-ink?

Not bashing or trying to be negative and I wish them the best, but some ideas just have failure written all over them. This one is just doomed from the start. Could not stop laughing reading this article. Of course this is just one man's opinion and what do I know.
