Eyes-on with ASUS ZX1 Lamborghini phone

by Thomas Ricker, posted Mar 3rd 2008 at 5:16AM

While poking around the ASUS booth this morning we had a chance to witness the world premier unveiling of the ZX1 Lamborghini. We even took a few shots before it went under the glass. However, the real treat is the UI based on a Windows Mobile 6.1 core running special ASUS tweaks. It's "just like the iPhone" according to our friendly ASUS guide. The device is expected to fetch an unsubsidized €1,000 ($1,500) price tag when this 3G world-phone launches in Europe this May. Maybe you'll think it's worth it when we get back to you in a few with a video of the GUI albeit sans all that Lamborghini theme nonsense.

Maybe not the uglies phone ever, but it is indeed ugly as fu**. But if that dispaly is 3.5" (which I'm sure it's not (2.8 mostlikely) I would buy in a quickness.

Love the design of the VX2S laptop (which is sitting next to me right now) but I'm not seeing the appeal in the phone... that joypad has been hit with the ugly stick.

And I've already paid too much for the Lambo stylings once already ;)
