Won’t somebody PLEASE think about the young people
Issah, our intrepid 15-year old reporter, has a wicked piece coming about how mobile phone shops treat their young customers. Nothing short of ridiculous.
However today I’m on the hunt for ideas for what we could get Issah to test out. Phones, products, services - what do you think needs a 15 year old’s perspective?
I’m going to give him a JCB ToughPhone and see if he and his friends at school can break it (in, er, as safe a manner as possible, maybe in a science or woodwork style lesson). I’m going to give him an iPhone and see what the youngsters make of it (particularly after the rather stimulating piece he brought us about how UK teenagers reacted to the iPhone launch.)
I’m thinking of talking to 3UK and seeing if they’d drop Issah over a few new handsets to have a play with and see how the teens react to them. Or Vodafone (whilst their forum intervention team is shit hot, I don’t think their consumer PR would be that interested.)
Any ideas? Let me know.
How about a dozen N93s? See if they can make a music video or a short film.

Also - Is he on Jaiku? Does he use Mippin?

Posted by Ewan on March 26th, 2008 at 8:50 pm.Ask him and his friends what they think about the Nokia N95 8GB, I’ve always seen mixed results. People like you love it, others hate it because it’s the size of a baby’s sneaker.
