Marketing - Telecom(munications)
Spanish term or phrase: irreverente
[Cell phone model] es simple, inesperado, práctico, irreverente y colorido. Creemos que lo que hace inteligente a la tecnología es lo que la gente puede hacer con ella y no lo que la tecnología puede hacer por sí sola.

This seems strange??? Is it a typo, or is there some alternate Spanish meaning I'm not aware of?

irreverent
Explanation:
It works perfectly well in English. People are probably going to post lots of synonyms, though, so perhaps I can pip them to the post:
Cheeky, sassy, iconoclastic, bold, wacky, tongue in cheek, playful...

neutral  philgoddard: Sorry, beat you to it :-) // So it's OK to duplicate other people's answers if you haven't bothered to read them properly?
3 mins
  -> I only read the "bold" type in our colleagues' answers, so there... @Phil, I said I only read (past tense) the part of your answer in "bold". I'm not duplicating, as your answer was "irreverent".
