We aren’t usually so taken in by a KIRF. In fact — we’ve seen so many knockoff iPhones, we had started to consider ourselves steeled against their charms — and then along came Hello Kitty Phone 3G. What is it about HKP3G that we love so much, you ask? Is it the happily tooled pink background scene on the facade of the phone? Is it the hideously realized user interface, complete with typos and a blatant disregard for capitalization standards we’ve all respected since the 19th century? Is it the little kitty on the solo button? Is it the name? Is it the fact that, at $99, it would cost us just as much to own one as a real, actual, iPhone 3G? Answer: it’s all of those things. We’re getting one. There’s another shot of this masterpiece after the break.
