Versace Launches New Luxury Touchscreen Phone

Filed under: Gadgets

The last few years the rush of designer phones seems to have cooled off a bit but that hasn't stopped ModeLabs from creating a lavish new touchscreen cell phone with Versace. The luxury mobile device has a sapphire crystal screen that is said to be the largest single piece ever offered in a consumer device. Gold plating and high-tech ceramic or handmade lacquer construction options add to the luxury look. The Versace Medusa logo is displayed both on the leather back and the front of the device. The phone is an LG device with a three-inch display and five megapixel camera. It offers Dolby Mobile surround sound technology for high quality in ringtones, MP3 music files and video with 30 hours of playtime. It will be sold through watch and fine jewelry networks and Versace flagship boutiques worldwide from early June 2010.
