Although not too long ago, cell phones for children were very popular the craze seems to have slowed to a stop and people no longer seem interested in purchasing cell phones for children.

I think there are going to be so many people in the U.S. kicking themselves that this totally awesome phone is only being released in Japan. I do admit I am one of those people kicking myself in the butt that this phone is not available in the U.S. To be perfectly honest it may not sell very well here though since, most people find flip phones to be too out of style

The new Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot S006 is simply a work of art. Despite being released with many other great new phones today the S0006 is simply a bit more special. The S0006 will have the new 16.4mp sensor inside making for a great camera usage experience. Although some may think that this is a bit of an overkill since it is a phone not a camera.
