Boost Mobile Launches Female-Friendly Motorola i776w Phone
Latest Handset Delivers Quality With Style to Cost-Conscious Female Consumers

I guess what makes it so "female-friendly" is that women are cheap and fond of "soft purple."

I'm embarrassed to be a woman!

They should market the i776w from motorola to 5 year olds not women.

Women want their electronics (and men) to solve problems and be sexy. Heres a couple of options that dont look like they should have a dora the explorer logo on them.

Until they have phones with a built in electric shaver for mid-day touchups (hopefully for the men) or a lipstick dispenser and eyeliner stylus, do we really need gender specific phones? Is not customizable color palettes and wallpapers enough? Or accessories?

I especially like the promo that shows a woman (presumably) taking a picture of a hot male. But ... you can also do that with the female-unfriendly phones, right?

Personally, I'm holding out for a Hello Kitty phone.

I think Samsung had a pink phone a few years back that had a semi-reflective screen that you could use as a vanity mirror by turning off the display, as a function.

No kidding! It also had what they called a "Pink Cycle" calendar. ***cringes***
(Nothing to do with bicycles)

I don't think anyone has continued with the idea though...

Motorola makes kids phones?

My 6 year old daughter would love that phone or one in pink. Just change to picture to one of the Jonas Brothers and they'll sell a ton to many young girls.

Julie, I guess that leaves you out.

Motorola has been having a real tough time in the mobile handset biz . .

looks like they dont have any great ideas for a turn around.

I burst out laughing out loud when I visited B&O and they showed us the phone that looks like... well... a part of the male anatomy in the "engorged" state!!! Maybe 39 cents can figure out a way to display the image!!!
