Camera Phones Plaza

As you probably already know, Japan’s gadget design trends are the most amazing. You can find there colorful designs with various shapes, some with Swarovski crystals encrusted and even gold phones with diamonds. Pink cell phones are on the top positions in sales and the representative brand is the famous Hello Kitty loved even by adults.

If you are not in Asia and need to find cell phones for children it’s a little bit hard. I can tell you this because I also tried to find at least a few models to choose from but all I’ve found were 3 old phones from 2005, and they didn’t even look cool enough for a child to like it.



Fortunately I’ve discovered at ThinkGeek.com.
2 impressively small cell phones for adults but because of their dimensions I could recommend them as cell phones for children too. Besides these, they provide the latest technologies such as touchscreen and this is a very important aspect if we talk about easy of use and ergonomics if you like.

The first one was announced in a recent press release and it is called the Neon 7 Mini Touchscreen Cell Phone, and when they say it’s a mini, believe me, it’s among the smallest cell phones I’ve seen.
Imagine holding in your hand a 95 X 42 X 11 mm GSM handset with an extremely slim design measuring just 11 mm thick, but with features like touch-sensitive 1.9-inch TFT LCD display of 65K colors, heat sensitive keys, MP3/MP4 player for music and videos, stereo Bluetooth, email support, virtual on-screen full keyboard, a talking menu with intelligent call alert, meaning the phone tells you who is calling by reading the incoming number out loud thanks to the speech synthesis technology, and hand writing recognition. This sounds too much! All these in a tiny mobile phone!



And if I tell you that it integrates also a 1.3MP CMOS camera with video recorder and webcam functionalities what would you say?

The Neon 7 Mini Touchscreen Cell Phone from ThinkGeek.com has extended T-Flash a lot support, Speakerphone, image editor, ringtone composer, WAP, organizer, world clock, calendar, to-do list, stop watch, phonebook and even health checker!! So you child would have various stuff to play with but maybe too much for his/her needs!

At just $199.99 the bar phone comes with an ear bud headset, 2 batteries, the AC travel charger, the USB cable, 2 styluses and the manual.

The other cell phone for children I want to show you is the Mini Boombox GSM Cell Phone available at a price of $149.99 at the same ThinkGeek.com online store.



This 3.5 x 1.3 x 0.8 inches model has a sliding keypad and comes in white. It looks cool and besides that it features MP3 player, tri-band support, GPRS, amplified speakers, SMS group, video player, WAP browser, Speakerphone, voice synthesis technology like the previously described cell phone, 256MB internal memory expandable up to 2GB, USB connectivity, a built-in 1.3MP CMOS camera with camcorder function, video recorder, and sports a 1.5-inch TFT LCD display of 65K colors.
Same as the Neon 7 Mini Touchscreen Cell Phone, it comes with 2 Li-Ion batteries, travel AC charger, stereo headset, USB cable and the user manual.

Check this cool cell phone with telescope!
It’s a two-band model with a 3-inch TFT display of 26K colors and a 2.6-inch touch-sensitive part, a built-in 2MP CMOS type camera with 4x digital zoom, and supports two SIM cards simultaneously.

Lightinthebox has it and it is available for wholesale at a price of $146.20.

Just a few days ago I ran out of battery and I was thinking "oh dear, what I wouldn't give for a phone that doesn't have to be charged". And today I smiled when I read that Beijing Hengjiweiye presented its solar mobile phone.

The Chinese producer introduced the solar mobile phone during China Beijing International Expo 2007. This phone has ability to charge its battery just by using any light source.

This king of phone would sure help a lot of people, plus it will please those who are concerned about the green and environmentally-friendly policy.

Here's the Century Sutra 1688 gaming phone from China. It includes pre-installed super nitendo emulator and a game pad to let you use the phone as a portable gaming machine and, what's more interesting is that the gamepad is included in the retail package. The game pad uses
a cable to connect to the mobile phone and the handset can be slotted in the middle of the game pad. Beside the 1500 games you get in the retail package, you can also use a microSD card to store other games.

The Century Sutra 1688 also features a dual sim card slot, dual loud speaker, a 1.3 megapixel camera at the back, and a 0.3 megapixel camera at the front (don't be fooled, no 3G, the front camera is only for taking pics of yourself probably)

The phone is already available in China for $125.

If you're that kind of person who would rather put diamonds on their mobile phone, we've got some good news for you.
