Odin Mobile, that's the company I couldn't think of the name of. I just
went on their site
https://odinmobile.com/phones/odin-vi/
and for the phones they sell, they don't have their android phones in the
list, and at least 2 of their button phones were going to be updated at the
end of 2016 due to t-mobile and at&t discontinuing the 2 g, since I think
these phones were on 2 g. There weren't any new phones listed on the site,
considering it's 2017 and past the end of 2016, so I wonder if they are
still selling phones. It does tell of different locations around the country
where you can see their phones, so that's good, if they are still selling
the phones.
