Are you an ardent fan of a Hummer H-series SUT or a sleek Cadillac CTS sedan? How about a mobile phone that's dressed and styled just like your favorite four-wheeler complete with car shine finish? Well, the Israeli-designed and US-based
Quantum telecom's handsets carry exactly these traits with a lineup of car-, fashion- and sports-themed models.
For autos, there are the General Motors- and Cadillac-licensed Hummer HQ-series and CDQ, respectively. Aside from the sports utility truck marques, the Humer HQ1 3G also has an engine intake grille adorning its front and crisp lines on the rear. The CDQ, on the other hand, mirrors the real McCoy with its blend of wing-like edges, sharp angles and wire mesh bottom.
On the other end of the spectrum, we have the Cosmopolitan CMQ-streamlined clamshells for the ladies. These have clutter-free exteriors which are a lot less intimidating at a glance, with plenty of aesthetic wow factors. For starters, how's the idea of a crystal-studded shell in various eye-catching designs? There's also a leather-clad equivalent and another coated in shiny enamel.
These phones are not just mere pretty faces with watered-down capabilities. Some of the standard features include a colorful 262K screen, wireless Bluetooth connectivity, inbuilt camera and MP4 playback. Even better, some of them will be priced affordably between US$199 and US$299, and are slated for launch across Asia starting next month.
