Cingular's Hello Kitty cellphone

Seriously, the only thing surprising about the Hello Kitty phone is that nobody had done one already. The phone, which looks like a modded version of the Nokia 3595, is due out from Cingular's pay-as-you-go service sometime around now (mid-December) and will come with "exclusive" Hello Kitty games, wallpapers, and ringtones. We'd say it'd go great with your Hello Kitty Bluetooth headset (teen girls are dying to walk around with headsets), but the 3595 doesn't have Bluetooth, so it's a moot point.

Anyone else initially pass over this article because you're so used to seeing cell phone ads that your brain registered it as an ad?

It is suprising that there hasn't already been a Hello Kitty Cellphone. There's toasters, CD, players, things for your car. Im not a cellphone fan, but if it's Hello Kitty, which I love, I think it's worth getting :D

me too, the first time i just scanned right over it. only later when i reviewed the engadget feed in NewsFire did i notice the article.

Typo alert!

You first called it the 3295 then called it the 3595.

I'm going with it being a modded 3595. The 3595 is a great phone for what you pay for it... I got mine free.

Well, it's cute, but the quality of this phone is not very good. I'm sending it back...

Well, um, like I totally bought this pink hello Kitty cell phone in Japan from and the clerk couldn't speak any English, all she could said is "HAI" and nodded a lot. Anyway I bought the phone and it seemed a little light to me, but I thought "it's just technology improving and making stuff lighter", and when I got home and tried to call my mother to let her know I was home from Japan, and um I then realized that the phone I bought was only a TOY ! I guess now I can't afford to buy a airline ticket to take the phone back cause it didn't work. Um Oh well, it only cost me 1200 yen anyways.
Ok bye bye then.
