Motorola signs Ferrari designer Pininfarina for new phones

by Paul Miller posted Feb 28th 2006 at 4:10PM

Italy's Pininfarina, designers of Ferrari cars and the "sexy-but-kind-of-heavy" Olympic torch for the Torino games, have added Motorola to their list of clients. They've signed on for three years and will be producing dozens of phones for Moto, with 10 designers assigned to the project. Motorola is, of course, trying to duplicate the success of the RAZR, but we're just looking forward to a few sexy-but-hopefully-not-so-heavy handsets.

You're pointless shout outs bring disgrace to the Michael name. I hope you're happy.

Anyways, great move by Motorola. I was waiting for someone to hire out Pininfarina. Rarely will you find anyone criticizing Pininfarina's latest designs.

Let's hope Motorola does something more with these new phones than just re-skinning the Razr internals in as many sexy ways as possible and marketing them like crazy).
