FireFly - Phone for Children

I came across this phone a couple of months ago and whilst I have not had the pleasure of testing and playing with it I think it's a great idea.

I have 3 children and I can tell you that this is definitely on the cards as it is a simple device that would work well for when I would want to contact them - I just wonder how durable it is as they have a nack for breaking things!

The phone is available through Kalahari.net and has the following functionality;

Parental management of incoming and outgoing calls

Customized ring tones, animations and colours
