CKT 6689 offers more to women than pink

CKT 6689 mobile phone
The CKT 6689 is a fairly run-of-the-mill mobile phone from Chinese newcomer CKT. It’s unusual, though, in the way it’s pitched at women. Rather than just painting the phone pink, or offering a ‘vanity mirror’ within the clamshell, the 6689 comes with a ‘health application’ that lets women monitor their menstrual cycle!

Not being a woman, I can’t comment on the usefulness of this feature, nor on its so-called ‘health benefits’, but every woman I’ve known has been only too aware of their monthly cycle! Still, every mobile phone needs something to make it stand out from the crowd, I guess, and seeing ‘menstrual’ displayed in glorious technicolour on your phone’s screen is guaranteed to do just that!CKT 6689 mobile phone
