LG, Versace team on luxury touch phone
updated 12:00 pm EDT, Thu May 20, 2010
Will be sold through jewelry stores and boutiques
LG has teamed with Versace to produce the Versace Unique. No mere fashion accessory, this handset features a large capacative touchscreen of a material Versace claims is unscratchable, as well as features expected in any smartphone: 3G networking, e-mail, a 5-megapixel flash camera, and a media player with Dolby Mobile surround sound and 30 hours of playback time. Luxury touches include a faceplate constructed with either ceramic or handmade lacquers and framed in 18K yellow gold finish or stainless steel inlay. The case is handcrafted leather, embossed with the Versace Medusa logo.
The Versace Unique will be sold at jewelry stores and Versace boutiques worldwide from early June 2010. No price is given (but if you have to ask...).
