Cool.Prepaid's hot new strategy doesn't include phones

Now that Motorola has confirmed that it's broken off ties with Cool.Prepaid, what are the company's plans for the future? According to co-founder Jack Hidary, the MVNO has "broadened its business" to sell prepaid SIM cards that can be used with any unlocked GSM phone (a service that, though hardly unique, could come in handy for, say, Europeans traveling in the US, who want to use their own phone without paying extortionary roaming rates). As for eventually offering phones again, Hidary tells PC Magazine that the service plans to roll out a new range in "the near future." We assume none of those will be Moto phones, which could leave Cool in something of a bind as it attempts to replace its previous, fashion-friendly offerings with similarly stylish phones from other vendors. Hey, there's always DNET. We hear they make a mean SLVR, er, DA793.
