Kyocera cranks with Virgin Mobile Festival Special Edition Wild Card

by Darren Murph, posted May 30th 2008 @ 12:59PM


If, for whatever reason, a Tony Hawk-branded Sidekick LX just isn't your bag, how's about this limited edition alternative? Aside from actually being more than a figment of someone's imagination, Kyocera's $99.99 Virgin Mobile Festival Special Edition Wild Card is definitely in the running for longest mobile name of all time. You'll also find a few musical touches added in, like the 50 free eMusic song downloads (enthralling, we know), graffiti-style Festival graphics, exclusive wallpapers and a one-year subscription to SPIN magazine. Interested consumers can look exclusively at Best Buy for this one until July 31st (unless the 15,000 are snapped up earlier), and make sure you bring it to the Baltimore Festival for gratis access to the Virgin Mobile Guest Lounge -- sure to be stacked wall-to-wall with nerds just like you. One more shot after the jump.

Limited edition Tony Hawk Sidekick LX on the way?

by Darren Murph, posted May 1st 2008 @ 6:33PM


We'd recommend taking this one with a healthy dose of salt, but word on the street has it that Tony Hawk -- being the unashamed Sidekick lover that he is -- is gearing up to receive his very own limited edition LX. Oh, and his adoring fans can snap one up too if they're quick. Details about the unit itself are scant, but it will obviously be Tony Hawk-branded and able to do a 900 on command. We are hearing, however, that it's slated to land on July 16th -- just in time for the T-Mobile sponsored Boom Boom HuckJam, too.

Amosu's diamond-encrusted Nokia N95 tempts the affluent

by Darren Murph, posted Oct 5th 2007 @ 4:43PM


Amosu's at it again, and while its £12,000 ($24,475) diamond-clad Nokia isn't the priciest handset we've ever seen, it's still more than most of our wallets can handle. This N95 is reportedly coated in 18-carat white gold and smothered with 325 diamonds totaling 3.3-carats. Furthermore, only ten of these beauties will ever be created, with each of them boasting its production number and having the ability to be customized to the customer's liking. If you're into this type of thing, and have absolutely nothing better to spend your cash on than a phone you'll never use, hit the read link and break the bank.

LG re-ups Black Label with Shine Designer's Edition

by Michael Caputo, posted Dec 25th 2006 @ 5:00PM

LG Electronics announced its latest addition to their popular Black Label series of phones, the Shine Designer's Edition. This phone is decorated in a special font that was designed by renowned Korean designer Li Sang Bong and has an poem inscribed on the back of the phone by Yoon Dong Joo, a popular poet from Korea. With no other changes being made to this sleek handset other than the exterior, we wonder just how much it will cost. Guesses anyone?
