May be Goldstriker, the company famous for the pimping up mobile phones and coming out with the Gold Nokia Arte and the Aphrodite wanted to change this image and now they have come up with the Gold edition of the Blackberry phone. The phone is handcrafted with rose gold and looks kind of pimped up. So when next time a hip-hop hustle guy wants to lead a serious corporate life he should go for this phone as a remembrance of his past life..What Say??? ]]> http://www.fonearena.com/blog/843/goldstriker%e2%80%99s-gold-blackberry.html/feed 1 http://www.fonearena.com/blog/827/diamond-phone-is-forever.html http://www.fonearena.com/blog/827/diamond-phone-is-forever.html#comments Sat, 02 Feb 2008 12:10:54 +0000 Team FoneArena http://www.fonearena.com/blog/2008/02/02/diamond-phone-is-forever.html The Guinness Book of World Records announced the LeMillion as the world’s costliest mobile handset. I have observed one thing, all these costly phone makers launch their products in the US or the European countries, I suppose, they think that the elite people, who can afford their mobile handset, stay in these countries. To prove this wrong, I suppose, Softbank, a Japanese mobile service provider is offering a ¥10 million 'Premium Texture' 823SH handset for sale. Softbank is offering only ten handsets. The phone is covered with 400 diamonds from Tiffany Japan and is oomphed up with costly carbon. The front panel comes in different varieties, ranging from wood to crocodile skin (beware of PETA, if you buy this handset). The Japanese service provider has added its own design to these handsets and I am sure this handset will appeal to the snazzy-looking-gadget loving Japanese people. ]]> http://www.fonearena.com/blog/827/diamond-phone-is-forever.html/feed 0 http://www.fonearena.com/blog/790/transparent-concept-phone.html http://www.fonearena.com/blog/790/transparent-concept-phone.html#comments Wed, 23 Jan 2008 10:55:19 +0000 Team FoneArena http://www.fonearena.com/blog/2008/01/23/transparent-concept-phone.html Concept phone are always alluring and innovative. Here is a concept phone that might not have seen before, this phone is completely transparent and see through. This concept phone is by BloodRabbit, which he thought of while driving home from work. This mobile phone comes in a see-through body and a basic LCD display; its dimensions are that of a credit card. You are probably scratching your head and wondering how the electronics and other stuff like a battery and camera fits in but this a very futuristic concept phone and we have to assume that, the technology in the future will be able to compress electronics to such a size. I am damn sure this phone is just a product of someones imagination and will be hardly commercialized. ]]> http://www.fonearena.com/blog/790/transparent-concept-phone.html/feed 8 http://www.fonearena.com/blog/789/swarovski-crystals-in-platinum-%e2%80%93-if-you-fancy-a-shiny-motorola-krzr.html http://www.fonearena.com/blog/789/swarovski-crystals-in-platinum-%e2%80%93-if-you-fancy-a-shiny-motorola-krzr.html#comments Wed, 23 Jan 2008 10:50:44 +0000 Ritu http://www.fonearena.com/blog/2008/01/23/swarovski-crystals-in-platinum-%e2%80%93-if-you-fancy-a-shiny-motorola-krzr.html The handset is engraved with 336 Swarovski crystals in a platinum base, and has been custom made by Goldstriker, famous for custom made precious phones and gadgets at a price of $1200. While Justamp calls it “super luxurious”, Intomobile calls it “gaudy and ostentatious vulgarity.” Just a matter of perspective?? What do you think? ]]> http://www.fonearena.com/blog/789/swarovski-crystals-in-platinum-%e2%80%93-if-you-fancy-a-shiny-motorola-krzr.html/feed 0
