The 'Duck' phone from fashion label Mandarina is sure to have its share of the fashion phone market thanks to the name of a recognised designer as part of its branding. Fashion-conscious mobile phones do have a tendency to eschew features in favour of looks and some form of exclusivity.
Mandarina Duck's effort is slightly unusual, due to the fact that it is almost undoubtedly a fashion-accessory phone (and hence is low on features) but is also priced realistically, unlike so many other fashion-centric devices.
Coming in some bright colours (Red, Green & Violet currently available) the Mandarina Duck is sure to win plenty of fans based on the aesthetics.
Anyone looking for a phone capable of doing everything you could ever think of with little fuss should really look elsewhere. The Mandarina Duck phone has a 2 Megapixel camera which is standard issue these days; GPRS connectivity; music player; microSD slot with 10MB of internal memory; Bluetooth and support for picture messaging. As I'm sure you'll be aware, these features aren't really a lot to write home about and make the Duck passable in terms of what you get for the money.
The Mandarina duck phone is meant to be unique thanks to its unusual rippled design and branding from a well-known fashion company, but as is the case with so many 'branded' mobile phones like this its shown to be no different to many other devices in its price range when the exterior is stripped back.
As it is an admittedly unique device from the outside, the Mandarina Duck phone is likely to win a lot of admirers, especially from those who don't have the time for high-powered super-phones and just want something functional that offers decent value coupled with the important 'Wow' factor.
