Formula 1 superstar finishes first in race to nab BlackBerry Storm

by Chris Ziegler, posted Oct 9th 2008 @ 11:59AM


There are, shall we say, certain "advantages" to driving a race car sponsored by global wireless behemoth Vodafone. Fame, fortune, and a free account (seriously, all the minutes and kilobytes you can eat!) definitely rank high on that list, but it all pales in comparison to this. It seems that Formula 1 wizard Lewis Hamilton has been gifted with a Voda-branded Storm, a great publicity play for the carrier -- particularly as he's sitting in front of a camera describing how "wicked" it is. Clearly, the video is little more than a PR stunt, but the phone genuinely seems to be his, and at least we can get a clear look at how fast, fluid, and pretty the interface appears to be. So, anyone know where he leaves that thing when he's out racing? Check the full action after the break.

F1 Ferrari phone is red, lacks speed and grace

by Sean Cooper, posted Apr 11th 2008 @ 10:32AM


This prancing red handset brings a dash of faux-Ferrari styling to the dreamers amongst us. This Chinese made phone features the typical touchscreen found on Chinese sets, dual-band GSM, 1.3 megapixel shooter, memory card expansion -- we're not sure on the type -- all packaged in a shifty looking red car housing. The handset also comes pre-installed with three games,Jet Plane, Intelligent Puzzle, and Hand & Boot Dance -- yeah, where is the racing game? Price is set at $190 though we suspect this novelty phone won't have the tifosi yammering and cheering like they did for their F1 hero, Michael.

Spyker rolls out three handsets and joins cellphone biz

Spyker, Dutch maker of fine performance wheels -- and owners of one of Formula 1's newest teams -- has rolled out a line of branded handsets. The -- pictured from top left -- C8 Spyder ($560), C8 Laviolette ($425), and C8 Laturbie($285) should help Spyker keep up with the Joneses in the automaker as cell phone manufacturer world. The Spyder and Laviolette are both dual band 900 / 1800 MHz jobbies with mostly unremarkable features like 1.3 megapixel cameras, 128 x 160 TFT screens, finished in black and silver. The Laturbie brings some tri-band action, a QVGA screen, same 1.3 megapixel cam, and gets dressed in glossy red. Interesting note is the keypads all seem to sport Chinese characters, so it doesn't take many guesses to figure out where they're bound.
