LG’s Migo Review
Mobile Burn takes a look at LG’s Migo, a kid specific cell phone that looks more like what you’d expect one of those Pokemon characters to look like than a typical cell phone.
While by no means the first kid-specific mobile phone on the market, LG’s Migo does mark the first time that a major manufacturer has developed one and put some actual marketing muscle behind it. The idea behind the Migo, and similar devices like the Firefly, is to develop a handset for younger kids in their pre-teen years. Make it simple to use, limit the phone’s ability to make outbound calls, and make it “cool” enough that your youngster is going to want to carry it around with him or her.
In the end they give it a highly recommended rating, but they also point out two big flaws in the system, as the Migo does not have GPS capabilities, which would help police track down children, nor does it have inbound call restrictions, which would stop children from being interrupted from homework or school work by friends who just want to chat.
