"Love to Talk" Limited Edition Jawbone Headsets

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

The regular Jawbone blue-tooth headsets were pretty cool, but apparently creator Yves Behar didn't think they were the best he could do -- and it seems they weren't. Now available (in theory anyway, they're really hard to find) is an extremely limited edition collection of 3 Love to Talk Jawbone headsets called "Sweet Talk," "Dirty Talk," and "Trash Talk." Each headset is a different color (gold, black, and white respectively) with a theme appropriate design etched into the surface. Which one would you get? And what on earth is etched onto the "Sweet Talk" headpiece? Is that a flower?

Tiffany & Co. Diamond Cell Phone

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

Softbank Mobile is in the process of launching their new line of 15 cell phones, one of which was created in collaboration with Tiffany & Co. Japan Inc. The new handset is encrusted with more than 400 diamonds totaling 20+ carats and will cost about $94,000. For that kind of money I hope it looks better in person than in any of the pictures I've been able to find!

The phone is available starting this month in Japan, with the complete line of new phones to be launched by the end of March.

The Gold iPhone

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

In case just having an iPhone isn't good enough of a statement for you, soon you'll be able to have an iPhone plated in 24 carat gold. I'm not going to say it looks bad, because it doesn't (it is an iPhone, after all!), but I will say the concept is a little over the top and a bit ridiculous -- especially once people realize it is in fact real gold.

There's not much space to put the gold on an iPhone so not sure if the price (which is still TBA) will reflect that or not. Just don't add any diamonds anywhere, please (although I'm sure that's next...).

The latest in blinged out cellphones is the Diamond Nokia N95, and there's no argument that it's 'doing the bling thing' in a big way. Coming from Alexander Amosu, the phone is a combination of 18k solid gold and 3.30 carats of high-quality diamonds. Available in a limited edition of only 10, each phone is custom set with 325 diamonds and the owner's choice of white gold or classic gold (white gold for me all the way), and of course each will be numbered from 1-10. Name or initials also available, $24,482.

Porsche Designs Mobile Phone

We never thought a phone could look fast, but Porsche seems to have accomplished just that. The squarish clamshell contraption you see in the photo is the company's newest design, a cell phone it developed in cooperation with Sagem Communications.

The P'9521, launched at the Red Dot Museum in Essen, offers up a 3.2 megapixel digital camera, 320 x 240 pixel touchscreen display, high-speed internet access and MP3 capability. While we're not sure if or when the phone will hit the market, it's no doubt that the Porsche name will send this phone a long way toward marketing success.

Filed under: Gadgets

Peter Aloisson has released a new design in the "way too expensive and over-the-top" cell phone category: the diamond studded gold Motorola V3i. The golden stainless steel case is hand-set with 855 diamonds, totaling 3.8 carats altogether. Of course it comes with all the same cool features as the regular Motorola V3i, and sells for a mere $10,000.

So, when this phone is obsolete a few months from now, what happens to all those little diamonds?

Cell Phone Straps by Bulgari

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

This is something I need! A cell phone strap. I know they sell them all over, but I never seem to see one when I'm thinking of it and inevitably my poor phone keeps hitting the pavement, the sidewalk, the tile, whatever! How many lives does a cell phone have, anyway? My little guy is well into the double digits, easy.

So anyway, Bulgari has come out with their own luxurious version of the cell phone strap, made of soft calf leather and palladium -- and a handy feature where the strap part disconnects leaving a cute cube pendant behind for easy reattachment (very handy). They also have other designs available on the website (I found them under "gifts") that come in other colors, along with some darling phone pendants as well.
