Nope, this new Hello Kitty phone is not for Japan but for Taiwan. This OKWAP A236 Hello Kitty has the typical pink colour and a nice big image of Hello Kitty on it, and as a consequence, we really couldn’t care less about the phone specifications, because the dominating aspect of this phone is that it’s HK (Hello Kitty)!!!
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.
