Xperia Pureness Comes with a Man Friday

Filed under: Gadgets

You've made it to your suite in Via Reggio, she'll be here soon, and things are looking good: the champagne from Champagne has been chilled, the chef you flew in from Marbella is warming the first course, the Milanese alto is downstairs right now preparing to serenade, everything's here. Everything except those Australian frangipanis for the bath later on. They haven't arrived, and it's a little late to find flowers in this seaside town.

Unless, that is, you have an Xperia Pureness handset and the Xperia Concierge service it comes with. Probably better thought of as a glass-and-black-plastic design statement than a phone, the Pureness touts itself almost as an anti-phone that focuses on "talk, text, time - a holiday from technology." Still, it's no counterculture brick: the display on that transparent glass screen has controls for web browsing, e-mail, and a media player.

And, yes, a concierge, part of a package of Xperia services. If your phone stops working during one of your frequent jet-sets, they'll send you another one within 48 hours. And your 24-hour-a-day assistant will get you a table, a membership, a seat, or a booth by the dance floor in a host of cities around the world. As long as it is a lifestyle request both "legal and moral" -- that probably includes flowers -- it will be carried out by the Xperia Concierge team. The phone is £530 ($860 U.S.), the concierge service is free for the first 12 months, and those frangipanis your Man Friday was able to arrange, well, you can't put a price on the perfect Tuscan evening...

Fashion-conscious female consumers who feel like most of the mobile phones on the market are far too ugly and masculine for their taste should be excited by the Jalou. The new cell-phone from Sony Ericsson, its named derived from the French for "envy", was designed specifically with fashionistas in mind, packing a two-inch display, 3.2 megapixel camera that tags your photos with their geographic location, an FM radio tuner, stereo Bluetooth, and even a built-in mirror, all in a compact clamshell that's touted as shorter than a lip-stick.

The phone is styled to look like a piece of jewelry, and will be available in Deep Amethyst, Aquamarine and Onyx black. But for the truly fashion conscious, there's a special edition made in conjunction with Italian fashion super-house Dolce & Gabbana that upgrades with a special Sparkling Rose color and trimmed in 24-karat gold plating, and even comes with a special wireless headset to match.
