I think BenQ is nuts here, but they seem to be feeling pretty good about their handset concept…

If you think BenQ Mobile’s Hello Kitty handset is just too darn girly for you, you’re probably not going to be impressed with its follow-up either. The company is to offer a second AL26 handset, this time boasting a butterfly logo to make it “the perfect fashion accessory for young, style-conscious women”.

Which is exactly what it said about the HK handset, I seem to recall.

The florid prose continues: “Delicate purple butterfly motifs adorn the shimmering white casing of this compact slider phone, making the mobile into a top-fashion eye-catcher – and not just for romantic women either… both in Eastern and Western cultures, the butterfly is regarded as a symbol of evolving femininity.”….
