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.

There is no company called Alcatel now. Since late 2007, there has only been Alcatel-Lucent. Check any Alcatel website and it will direct to Alcatel-Lucent.

Cellphones aren’t even in the product portfolio anymore!

OMFG… Swatch! Now there is a name I had hoped to never hear again. I was in school when the swatch madness hit. Never did get it, thought they were pretty useless.

what do you mean alcatel is not in the us. Who do you think is supplying big red with LTE, beside being prob the secound largest enterprise supplier of network hardware. Sooner or later there will be an ALU phone in our hands.

Just what kindergardeners need, a phone with loseable parts… well Kindergardeners dont fucking need phones to start with.. But i guess if people are dumb enough to get there elementry school child a blackberry, im sure they will get them a second line with a lego phone.

Children with cell phones is something I try to steer clear of… But seriously- if this phone actually offered serious capabilities, I would TOTALLY buy it. I LOVE legos! I will most definitely keep my eye out for this to see how it develops… I’ll be disappointed if it is created for the sole purpose of being for kids (i.e. parent control features like only can have 8 phone numbers programmed into it and other restrictions)…

Doesn’t work with actual Lego blocks, so what’s the point? It’s basically a swatch-phone.

Besides, I for one can’t wait to be driving on the highway and be sideswiped by some idiot whose faceplate fell off their year-old Lego-phone while they were driving. -.-

Next thing u know we’re gonna be putting bluetooth headsets on new borns and toddlers. We really need to ease up as a society and focus on deciphering the true difference between needs and wants. Corporations and their CEOs are laughing all the way to the bank with your money, and then usuing your tax $ to prop themselves back up. Let’s go back to the days of purchasing what we need, and a few wants. Cell phones are not necessities. They never were or ever will be.

@Bdizzah

I work in a cell phone store and parents buy phones for kids who are 8 years old. Their reason? “I need to keep track of where my kid is”.
What kind of irresponsible-ass parent can’t keep track of their 8 year old kid!? More importantly, what parent let’s their 8 year old be parented thru a cell phone. People nowadays are so stupid and consumerist. Its why the economy is so messed up, families with $200 cell phone bills for phones they don’t need. They buy what tv tells them to buy. No kid needs a cell phone and no parent should ever not watch their kid like a hawk. Its why our society is as F’d up as it is.

Great idea but the execution is very poor – taking the LEGO brand at such a face value and seemingly no consideration for compatibility with LEGO core products- a missed opportunity for endless ‘play’ , universal appeal, extended personalisation and limitless opportunities, hmmm

Alcatel isnt even in the USA, no worries us ever getting one….

If you have to ask then you obviously aren’t the target market. Some people collect Lego stuff so this would be great for them. I myself, think toy trains are just for kids, but toy trail collector clubs are FILLED with old people who love them just as much.
