  • wrote: 2007-11-05 16:53:00 i would spraypaint the cord in the same style colors... guess that would be my redesigning this

  • wrote: 2007-11-05 18:03:00 Put some red LEDS in the dragon eyes to have it flash when it rings :)<br /> And yes, the cord looks very bad...

  • wrote: 2007-11-07 15:36:00 I dont think this qualifies for bad design. . as a product designer i have seen these in the stanley market in hong kong and it is obviously a craftsperson making hand carved sculptures and throwing the innards of a phone in there<br /> as far as I could tell by picking one up, the phone worked perfectly fine. the buttons have good tactile feedback, and there is a dialtone. This should not be on a product redesign site. This is not a mass manufactured product.

  • wrote: 2007-11-07 15:36:00 oh also there are red leds in the eyes that light up when it rings haha i forgot to mention that in my last post.<br /> <br /> still, handcrafts have no business on a site dedicated to bad DESIGN, even if there is a phone jammed in there.

  • wrote: 2007-11-07 19:24:00 actually, yhe old phone rules because you can smack the horne on the holder when you&#039;ve got a terrible day, and here.........well...uhm...yes....it also can but then it&#039;ll brake(I wander if it looks better if you do that)

  • wrote: 2007-11-08 03:03:00 Man is that phone ever crap. Cheap Chinese products now that deminish the nature of European products - likely it&#039;s smothered in lead paint and made to last up to and including the last day of warranty. We need to get away from this non- sustainable asian crap that fills up our landfills and reduces us to being souls that search for the cheapest stuff around and ruins our local economy. I say not to cheap Chinese crap and we should tell manufacturers that we don&#039;t want this any more - quality at a price not cheap at a massive profit and purely non-environmental. Make a statement!
