Lego and Alcatel teaming up to release Lego phone
Earlier this year Lego and Digital Blue announced combined efforts that would yield a variety of Lego-centric electronics aimed at kids. Slated to be released by this Summer, the announcement included details on a digital camera, a walkie talkie and an MP3 player – nothing too crazy. These functional toys would appear as though they had been built from lego bricks and would all fall into an affordable $20 – $60 price range. Cool. An anonymous tipster may have just shined some light on a yet-to-be-announced element of this partnership however, that might bump the endeavor’s interest-factor from a 1.1 to an even 2. As you can see from the image above, Alcatel is apparently jumping into the mix and the trio is planning to make their best effort at putting cell phones in the hands of children at an even more inappropriately young age. Woo! From the looks of things, the Lego phone will consist of a base structure containing the body and display of the handset, while a series of modular attachments can be snapped on – likely just for color variation as opposed to changing the functionality of the handset to some extent. Little else is know at this point but we’ll be sure to update you as soon as possible so you don’t lose too much sleep over it. Hit the jump for a bigger shot showing off more modular pieces.
Where can i buy one of these in Australia??
Lego denies any connection with this phone: response?
Yeahh i would also dieee for this phone, im obsessed.
pleasssee if anyone knows where to get one let me know! if it has actually come out, and its not just a leak?

alcatel sold their name in the past to a chinese handy produce. thats why its only got ALCATEL in front. its quite far from the alcatel-lucent you might know.
but its just better because alcatel tried to build handies in the past which was not such a success story.
WHERE DO I GET ONE?!?!?!
WANT.
