I saw this advertised and displayed and being sold at an electronic shop here. It's a pink phone that is labelled Barbie Phone. I'm not sure if it's an advertising gimmick or just a regular phone that is pink. It's not cheap, but I'm sure hundreds of little girls will now pester their parents to buy it.
Would you buy one?

I wouldn't buy one. I'm sure they will be popular. Have a good day.

It's not uncommon for brands to partner with phone companies to appeal to the market. While barbie dolls and such continue to sell well, phones and other eletronics are getting into the hands of children younger and younger. And, if you're here in the U.S. it mi might be a matter of safety.
But I suspect this is a partnership between Metel (owners of Barbie) and whatever phone manufucture that is to put a top dollar price on a phone, just to make extra bank.

@pitstop Several years ago, Disney tried to do the same thing, going as far as creating their own mobile network. It didn't last because technology evolved faster than they did.

I like the Barbie character but not that much to pay a Barbie phone for the price they want. .
