Native Union to Make SpongeBob Handsets

Nickelodeon Consumer Products International, part of Viacom International Media Networks, has partnered with Hong Kong-based Native Union for the first ever SpongeBob by SpongeBob branded Moshi Moshi Pop Phones.

These traditional-looking telephone handsets can be used with the latest mobile technology, and will be available in September through the third quarter of 2013, at least.

The pan-European deal will see the devices on Native Union’s e-commerce website and in stores in Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg, Germany, Spain, France and Italy, plus the U.K., the Irish Republic and the Channel Islands.
