Lulu Castagnette Attempts to Make Kid-Friendly Phone

February 21, 2008

I know kids are totally tech savvy nowadays, but cell phones that look like crib accessories are not my cup of tea. French mobile company Sagem has teamed up with fashion designer Lulu Castagnette to create these My411C model phones, which are being targeted to kids and women — since when is a teddy bear representative of both of these groups? IntoMobile explains that it's not only the exterior that is raising eyebrows, but the features are also lacking as well, as there is nothing unique or special to write home about. Lets just hope this basic phone isn't priced at designer rates.

I just looked on the website. It seems that Lulu Castagnette's trademark is the teddy bear. It is adorable though, especially on the bedsheets. Now I want to buy stuff from her store! haha

@Kaori, ITA! The teddy bear is kinda cute :) But I don't know if this will necessarily sell to kids. Because the Firefly was marketed as a kid-friendly phone, but no kids wanted it because it was a "kiddie phone" and it wasn't cool. And now it's discontinued... but I suppose broadening their market to women will help and the phones are more stylish.
