Which Designer Do You Actually Want To Do A Phone?
E
ngadget has pictures of the terribly tacky (though Swarovksi
crystal-free) Anna Sui phone that was just announced. Like the
Diane Von Furstenberg phone it's an arrangement with
Samsung. The phone which sells for $299 with a two year service agreement with T-Mobile (home of Paris Hilton's
hacked Sidekick), also comes with a carrying case, phone charm, screensaver, and "Rouge S" lipgloss.
Engadget asked how long until Prada gives us a cell phone? It does beg the question of which designer you'd most
like to have design a phone. Wired tackled
the same question and found that cellphone users would definitely be interested in a phone by their favorite designer
if it had the right functionality. I think I'd like to see what a Helmut Lang phone would look like or maybe an
Lagerfeld phone. Basically, any designer with a little restraint and an understanding of technology would a great
change from these fashion Barbie gadgets.
