A cell phone just for her. "At Samsung, we acknowledge the unique individuality of every modern woman in this society and have thus created the Egèo that will meet her every needs.... Just for the Ladies - Pink Schedule, Calories Calculator, Bio Rhythm, Fatness Indicator".
  • Oh Melinika that is ridiculous and twisted! I bet there's lip gloss inside. That antenna probably has a little brush on the end. Oh gosh I better log that bitchy comment in my Pink Scheduler! Must be PMS! Here's another stupid little tidbit: http://www.cellpower.com/PhoneThong.cfm Finally! A comfortable, convenient mobile phone carrying solution for women who have neither pockets nor purses, unlike the woman in this photograph
  • Pink Schedule??? Sounds like TV Guide for the adult cable channel in a motel room.
  • Yes, because women should be consumed with dieting and weight every freaking minute of the day. Although I wouldn't mind the "Pink Schedule. That is if it didn't have such a dorky name.
  • Oops. I meant to preview. Sloppy.
  • Fatness Calculator Cellphone, cellphone, in my thong, Tell me if I'm right or wrong! Um, does this outfit make me look fat? REPLY HAZY, ASK AGAIN LATER
  • This phone, it vibrates? Sorry. Had to be done.
  • You fat, bitch. Fatness indicator? Ok, we are now in the fuckup zone. It's all over. Civilization has ended, we are now officially in the stupid universe.
  • The condescending head-pat is included, free of charge - right?
  • yes, but does it come with a bag for when I projectile vomit?
  • Pff, it doesn't even have a color screen. I didn't get the memo that said I wasn't allowed to be interested in anything but my, um, fatness. Although, I second kimdog, a "pink schedule" would be fabulous if the name was better, and if it actually worked for those of us with more, uh, flexible schedules as opposed to the every-28-days-like-clockwork method. Though I'm not sure I need it on my phone.
  • I think what would sell better is a Man Phone. Features would include carpentry calculator, beer price alerts, and upon 50th birthday, directions to nearest Harley-Davidson franchise.
  • "Calculate the amount of calories burnt for doing daily work like cooking, shopping..." Whay is this so controversial? Are you all on your periods or something?
  • *sneaks up behind rocket88 with cast-iron frying pan*
  • we are now officially in the stupid universe. Help, I wanna get off this ride!!!!! A small part of me is begging that this is a joke.. please be a joke!
  • I know I'm getting my period when the voices in my head tell me so. Also, I don't need a cell phone to tell me I'm fat, that's what husbands are for. The condescending head-pat is included, free of charge - right? Word. *high five*
  • What if my fatness indicator tells me I'm too fat to use my pink schedule? Do I get a refund?
  • But there's no place to store my husband's favorite recipes!
  • Y'know . . . the "Pink Scheduler" is also useful for the fellas . . . "Cell Phone tell me Love or hate - Is this the night to come home late?" Scheduler says: If you want your n*ts ripped off Oooh! Tough room! *collar tug* /rodney_dangerfield
  • The fatness indicator? Oh dear.
  • I love that they bothered to come up with a cutesy name for "Pink Schedule" but not "Fatness Indicator".
  • Allright -- this 'Pink Schedule'. I'm thinking that women pretty much know when their cycle is, aside from certain exeptions which would make this feature useless anyway. There would be little need for a technological reminder of when you're ovulating. Which brings us to two possibilities: 1. It's not for the woman herself, but for people snooping on her phone, which is just downright creepy and why would anyone invite that, or 2. It's for when the woman can't count on herself to remember, and must use an electronic diary. So why wouldn't she remember? If she's awake and sober, it'd be a relatively easy thing to recall, I'd think. Which suggests that this feature is for when she's drunk. She's drunk and needs to remember when she can get pregnant. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present the newest tool for preventing drunken One Night Stands. *Shakes fist at cockblocking Samsung engineers* Damn you! Damn you all to hell..!
  • This phone is rather old, over four years now. I'm curious if it was marketed in the US? I know that it was marketed in SE Asia (where I was lucky enough to have seen a few women toting this thing around a few years back). That may have something to do with the naming of the Pink Schedule - as menstruation is viewed as such a "dirty and taboo" event in certain cultures. I totally know the type of woman that would buy (errr, did buy) this phone. Sad, but true! Still, that doesn't detract from the absurdity of this silly gadget. There have been some even sillier follow-up phones in this "woman-based" line of "handphonilia" - - complete with large shimmering rhinstone pieces and such. Sick! HELP!
  • *takes away Space Kitty's frying pan* *replaces with 100 TON HAMMER*
  • Actually, Samsung has some good models for mobile phones. I used this for a couple of years, and it's quite handy. I like clamshell phones, it's light, has a good display both open and closed, and the interface is quite all right.
  • It's not for the woman herself, but for people snooping on her phone, which is just downright creepy and why would anyone invite that, Do I not remember some blonde that lost hers recently? /wonders if phone is cheaper for menopausal women who don't need schedulers anymore.
