I spotted the coolest Hello Kitty mobile phone in the 2009 Christmas Gifts catalogue from Argos yesterday. But looking for it today it’s NOWHERE to be seen online.
The new phone is based on this clam shell
It’s based on the Sony Ericsson Z320i. Very rarely can you not find something you’re looking for online. I’ve searched Argos’s website inside out for it but it’s just not there. I searched Sony Ericsson’s site and it’ not there either 
Here’s the Z320i sans Hello Kitty styling.
If you spot the Hello Kitty phone anywhere please contact me!
Just for the record this isn’t the touchscreen Hello Kitty phone here. Although would love one of those!!!
It’s also not this one either.
UPDATE - 3/11/08:
I’ve scanned in the page. This phone has Bluettoth, MP3, 1.3megapixel camera and video capture. Costs £39.99. I’ve also contacted Argos today. Will update you all if i get a response!! 
UPDATE - 4/11/08:
I’ve received a response from Argos customer support. Here’s a quote from the email:
“I can confirm that we do sell this Sony Ericsson Z320I but at the moment it is out of stock.”
So there you have it straight from the horses mouth. It does exist! Looks like we’ll need to keep a vigil on the website!
UPDATE - 10/11/08 - Keep checking Tewsday.com for updates. Still no new stock by the looks of things. Click HERE for the direct product phone lookup on Argos!!
The advert in Argos that started it all

I’ve been looking for it as well. Can’t find it anywhere. It’s in the Argos christmas brouchure but not in Argos on-line. why not I wonder?
My daughter has spotted this also in Argos and asked for it. Argos say they wont have anymore in (doubt they had any in the 1st place)Have also looked everywhere on the internet and cant find it.
Hi Fionna and AV, thanks for adding a message!
This is a mystery! It seems strange that a product can make it into a brochure and then not appear anywhere else. Please keep me posted if you managed to get it!!
I’ve been looking for this phone too with no luck, the only place it seems to be is in the argos gift catalogue 2009, I can’t even find it in the main autumn/winter 2009 Argos catalogue! Does the phone even exist?
I asked the girl at the counter to check in every store in ireland and it is non exixtant. it also is £39.99 not £99.99.
Perhaps it is only available from December!!
I really want it too!!
Rose: My thoughts exactly does this phone even exist? Maybe Argos photoshop’ed Hello Kitty on to it!! LOL
Judy: Wow good research.. every counter in Ireland!
Non existant yet it costs £39.99. Haha, that makes sense! The story continues.
yeh i luked and it 99.99 in xmas catolgue for argos but 39.99 when u type it in…. i really want one too but they said it out of stock everywhere
i think it,s a scam, there are none of these phones anywhere on the planet.
i think i will be putting poison in father christmas,s milk this year lol.
i really want one but when i tried on argos online they didnt even have it ! i doubt they even had it in the first place like the rest of you said.
So yeah- quite the crap one eh?
I think we should make our own! x
Once again thanks for all your responses!
I’ve scanned in the Hello Kitty Mobile Phone for prosperity… and if we decide to make our own version!!
Also stayed tuned as i’ve fired off an email to Argos.
I saw this aswell was going to order it for my mum since her birthday is in like 2 days…can’t find it on the internet…phone is a myth!
The reply from Argos is back. The Hello Kitty phone from Sony Ericsson exists! See more details in original post!!!
my daughter saw this and asked for it for her birthday in 10 days time. Went into Argos and they checked every store in the uk and told they have none, looks like she will not be getting it.
That doesn’t make sense though. I too am looking for this oddity of a phone but there is no info ANYWHERE, its possible its not released yet but I think Argos may be getting confused with their email and its true they do sell this sony ericsson, but not with hello kitty on it.
SEND THAT PHOTO TO ARGOS THAT YOU SCANNED, LOL I CHECK THE WEBSITE EVERY/MOST DAYS.
‘I am so sorry you cannot order the Sony Ericsson z320i just now. I am pleased to confirm we are expecting new supplies, but at present, I cannot give you an exact date. Please keep checking our website for up to date information about stock availability.’
My email reply, interesting eh?
Hi Judy, Thanks for the update!
I get a different response if you put in the exact Hello Kitty code http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ArgosAddByPartNumber?storeId=10001&jspStoreDir=argos&partNum_1=5180970&Submit=GO+%3E&searchTerms=5180970&langId=-1&catalogId=1500001151&ddkey=Search
Just get a “Sorry, we are unable to find the catalogue number(s) highlighted in your list.
This may be because a number is incorrect or the item is no longer available. “
hello
i to have been looking for this phone for a few weeks now but every time i go into argos they say it is sold out would like to know if anyone has bought one. went into store today and girl behind till said if its not in book then they prob wont get anymore in stock said prob been old stock but i have never seen this phone befor and want one for my niece for christmas so will still keep trying.
Im currently trying to track one down too, Argos website doesnt recognise them at all, and we have it in the catalogue in front of us, so frustrating!! Going to email Argos!
Gotta love the responce this is getting, my mums birthday came and went, got her an Iron maiden DVD instead lol not quite the same thing! Ill keep checking in on the progress of this anyway, and keep us posted suppose I could always get it for christmas!
I think that this could be the must have cant get anywhere xmas gift, it happens every xmas !!!
Just checking in to see if they have been spotted yet! Guess not!
I have been trying for over 2 weeks to get one of these, they didn’t even have it in stock the same day the christmas brouchure was out in the shops. It has never been in stock.
Same story here - saw the Hello Kitty mobile in Argos Christmas catalogue but unable to track down one anywhere - my sister went to Argos the same week we got the christmas catalogue, but was told it is out of stock! How weird. Also tried online but mobile phone appears not to exist.
hi there everyone just thought would let you know i have just e mailed argos about the phone and am waiting for a reply will let you know what they say x.
Well i’m still checking the site via this direct link… http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ArgosAddByPartNumber?storeId=10001&jspStoreDir=argos&partNum_1=5180970&Submit=GO+%3E&searchTerms=5180970&langId=-1&catalogId=1500001151&ddkey=Search
I can’t see them changing their product number so i’m gonna keep checking it! Thanks again to all our die hard Hello Kitty fans! Over 25 comments!
My mum saw it in argos catalogue and wanted to get it but asked me first so she is trying to get it for me tomorow. i will tell you if i get it. By the way they say it has sold out but no one seems to have one? Hmmmm lol
i want this phone so bad. i wonder why in northern irelands catalogue its telling us its £99.99
i have be looking for this moblie phone for a long time. i am all ways going into argos to ask if they have had it in but they just say no but we are having some prombles getting this moblie phone from the manufactors how make it. i just love the look of it and when i first saw it i thought i just got to have this monlie phone. And it is just £39.99 i can’t believe it is now that much. i think if they do not have the mooblie phone in they sudden get one like it or they sudden push the manufactor to get it things right before putting them in the Argos Catalogue. i will tell you if they are in the shop.
i saw this moblie phone in argos for £39.99.i can not believe it. when it comes in i will e-mail you to tell you that it is in argos.
I went in yesterday, and checked the ’special offer’ catelogue where i saw it before in the shop n that page has disappeared lol!
Interesting eh…
The hunt and want continues!!
Hey Judy
I can’t believe they have taken it out of the book! grrr! i want the phone so bad, guess we will never have a Hello Kitty Phone in the UK!!!! Keep looking guys!
Love Tewsday x
The Z320i is about a year old. It has replaceable covers called style up covers. I thought I’d look for hello kitty covers, but so far no luck
This phone is going to be very difficult to source with this particular cover I believe.
i think if they do not have sony ericsson z320i the hello kitty they should get one like it with:-
Megapixel camera
MP3 player
Bluetooth®
MicroSD card slot
Record and playback video clips
internal memory.
i will e-mail to tell you if it is in when i go up tonight.
Im very dissapointed.Im desperate to get my daughter one.Argos Telford told me they have been none existent since advertised for 39.99.my daughter is recovering from a bone marrow transplant and its one of the only things she has asked for.please keep us all posted if you hear of anywhere. sounds like im not the only one who is desperate to get their hands on one. Julie 14 nov 2008
can’t believe I’m not the only one trying to get this elusive phone!! have even gone into an Orange phone shop as advirtsed as being on their service but no luck.
Checked in Argos again ,tday- still a mystery to them!
We need to take action…is it not illegal to advertise a product that is non-existant??
Is it the trading standards lol??
Im starting to get bored with this whole shizzmatazz!
xx
I have an update! It’s both positive and negative.
Went into the Argos in Norwich on St Stephens Street. Looked in their NEW Christmas catalogue… lo and behold there was the infamous Hello Kitty z320i phone! It was priced at £99.99!! Which is similar to some of the other observations above. We drummed in the product code into the stock thingy and.. yep.. you guessed it - OUT OF STOCK. I’ve got a picture of the product in the catalogue. Will upload it tonight in the main post.
Loving it loving it…
I always wonder why it is £99.99 cos its an out of date model of that phone…
Dam u hello kitty and your darn addictiveness lol!!
xox
hmmm..ive got the new argos xmas book,only came out a few days ago an its in there for £99.99 but when u go to argos it doesnt actually exist..im going to call them tomorrow and if theres no vaild explanation im going to contact trading standards cos its illegal to advertise somethng you dont actually have!
I phoned Argos orderline a couple of days ago. Someone told me they were having trouble with the supplier & it could be available within 7 - 14 days.
But then, I phoned yesterday & somebody else said the phones are in & out quickly. So none are available.
Hmm… sounds like they are just saying whatever to cover there tracks. They shouldn’t advertise things, if not available. I have just sent another email too.
My daughter has set her heart on this phone & I hate to let her down. If I don’t get her this for Xmas, I don’t know what else I can buy her.
Please if anyone has more info email: mkay100@yahoo.com
Or just post on here
Thanks
*I have an update!!*
Still no luck
lol
Phoned Argos orderline (0845 640 2020)this morning, now they are saying it is a discontinued line. How can it be if it was never in stock?
So dissapointing : (
God, I’m glad I’m not the only one, thought I was going mad!
The Argos website has started telling me that the catalogue number doesn’t even exist.
what the hell?
They really shouldn’t advertise things that don’t exist.
I’m desperate for this phone!!!
x
Given up with Argos & bought this phone instead
