I have a hard time believing kids actually are wanting this thing.

Parents wanting it for their kids, sure. But every kid would rather have an iPhone.

I think I fall into this camp of parents. It was cute but my kid definitely grew bored of it. I keep hoping that it will pick back up, and maybe it will.

Have an upvote. I have landlines for my kids. It was fun for about two weeks, then they had friends with FaceTime and you’re not able to compete with real time video conferencing.

My kids have an Ooma landline and haven't gotten bored with it yet. It's been months. The hype is real.
