Fashionista’s Dream Come True

Prada does cellphones and it’s an LG KE850 - customized.

It’s black, shiny and beautiful. What? Don’t believe me? I have the pictures to prove it.

This beautiful designer cellphone features a unique, touch screen display and a very minimalist design.

The user interface is a simple black and white, but not boring.  The phone comes complete with a Prada leather case (of course!) and will be sold at a price tag of approximately $400-$500 (speculation).

Though it’s not yet available, look for it in 2007. The market will be Europe and America from what I read.

Depending on the official specs, this would be a phone I might consider buying. We’ll have to wait until full details are revealed to find out if it’s just a basic phone or a more ‘jazzed’ up model. It’s interesting though to see that the phone is rather monochrome and sort of “blah”—I’d at least expect a pink version. Wouldn’t you?

More photos after the jump, including display and touch screen shots.

Wow! Beautiful & Expensive…

This beautiful mobile phone is by Vertu.  Before you fall in love, let me warn you that it is most likely out of your price range.  Not only is it beautiful, it’s fabulous!!!

This luxurious phone is for those that enjoy (and can afford) the finer things in life.  What girl wouldn’t enjoy it.  Unfortunately, not only am I a Savvy Chick, I’m a broke chick, so I will have to do without.

Sony’s Got Style & It’s Pink!

Introducing the new Sony Ericsson Z310i and Z310a mobile phones. The pictures are all shiny and new, but you won’t find any of these lush pink, blush bronze or jet set black in any stores this Christmas season. You’ll have to wait until January. Bah humbug!  You know, they always seem to introduce the coolest new gadgets in the first quarter of the new year, and believe me it’s hard to make myself wait to get the newest and greatest things.

Great Phone, Great Price - Target Rocks!

Ever need an extra cell phone? Maybe you’re between cell phone plans and just need a simple phone to get you by?

Target is offering the Nokia 6030 free with the purchase of a $100 prepaid card. (You save $39.99)

The Nokia 6030 is a very nice phone too, not some shabby cheap mobile phones that I’ve seen other carriers sell.  It includes a speakerphone, FM radio, games, melody composer, and the other standard features like calculator, phone book, alarm, etc.

The $100 prepaid card gives you 1000 minutes that are valid for an entire year.  Not too many prepaid mobile phone plans offer this, which is a nice bonus. Even if you used the 1000 minutes and tossed the phone, it’s still a good deal, so I recommend going for it.

It’s only available in Target stores (not online) and the sale is valid through Saturday, October 21, 2006.

Hello Kitty Prepaid Phone

All pink loving savvy chick’s need one of these. The best part is that they’re only $99 and you can use them in the United States. They’re prepaid phones using Cingular, so they would be great for a teen.

“This supercute custom pink Hello Kitty Nokia 6010 handset features exclusive Hello Kitty ringtones, plus wallpapers and a game for its full-color screen. It also features voicemail, caller ID, wireless Web/email and text messaging. The Hello Kitty Nokia phone includes $10 of free prepaid Cingular KICSM wireless airtime.(Calls are 10c/minute to all Cingular customers on the Mobile to Mobile Plan.)

Couture Meets Connectivity????

Simple, Colorful, BOLD. Okay, so they got that one correct.

These are just some of the words that Motorola is using to describe the Motorola PEBL Colors. Can a simple yet colorful phone live up to such hype? Check this out:

“Luxury meets fresh and bold style with the Motorola PEBL Colors.  Stretching the boundaries of traditional design, the colorful PEBL boasts a unique oval shape, distinctive vertical external display, innovative one-handed opening hinge design and tactile soft-touch finish.  And now available in vibrant shades of green, orange, blue, and pink, the Motorola PEBL is sure to be the center of attention everywhere you go.”

Oh and that’s not all, this is the best part:

“Document life on the go with the rich multimedia capabilities of the Motorola PEBL Colors.  Before you buy the latest handbag, get a friends opinion - even when she’s across town.  Simply point, shoot and narrate via MPEG4 video playback, then send via Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS)*.  Visual delights continue with an embedded VGA camera for quality still photography, picture caller-ID* and dynamic color display.”

I’m sorry, this phone is cute and all.. but this what??? What are they talking about? How many fashion conscience style mavens are going to rush out to buy this phone? I honestly don’t know of very many. Hype Hype Hype. Blah Blah Blah. Whatever!  Okay, that’s enough already.. just go read the press release yourself if you want to.

SNAP! Cybershot Goes Mobile

Yet another non-pink mobile phone that makes my heart go pitter-patter. The newly announced Sony Ericsson K790 Cybershot Mobile Phone is even better than the Samsung SGH-i310 I told you about yesterday!

Put it this way, it’s the first ever cameraphone to carry the Sony Cybershot name, so it’s got to be good? Right?

Here’s the 411 on this gem:

Okay, sign me up!

The Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot K790 Phone offers a 3.2 megapixel digital camera w/ auto-focus, plus a Xenon flash (better pictures!). Toss in a music payer (MP3 & AAC) and a video recorder… bluetooth and the best feature: full HTML browsing with RSS feeds, Google Search and Blogger integration. I’M IN LOVE!!!!

My only peeve.. I wish it were a flip phone. I’m a flip phone kind of girl. I just don’t love the bar phones - no matter how much I try. Don’t even ask me how many minutes I’ve wasted on accidental calls or web browsing… ugh.

Now, This is an All-in-One Phone!

Okay, so it isn’t pink… nor is it especially shiny. If you didn’t know better you’d think it was some old phone from 1999. But let me tell you, this phone can rock your world!

The newly announced Samsung SGH-i310 features an 8 gig hard drive and can play back MP3, WMA and AAC music formats.  And it also includes a nice little 2 megapixel camera.  Toss in Bluetooth and USB 2.0 and I’d say this is the only phone you’ll ever need (well, until something bigger and better comes around in 6 more months).  It will run on Windows Mobile 5.0.

Now, if you’re in Korea.. you’re in luck.  If you’re in Europe.. you’ll wait at least 6 months to get your grubby paws on this one. As for us poor techno challenged Americans.. only God knows how soon it will be here. Typical.
