Special Edition Motorola V600 and Bluetooth HS810

Juniper Foo | Jul 28, 2005

More blink blink than bling bling, this is one handset our mobile thieves would love to get their mitts on. Motorola's excessive V600 is encrusted with more Brilliant Russian Cut diamonds (VS Clarity/F Color) than you can wear, set in an 18-carat white gold bezel crafted by Italian jeweler Anucci. In short, this is the real deal, daarling. No faux zircons winking between the hinges. At 11.73 carats, Motorola has also upped the stakes from its 0.4-carat diamond-accented Baby Phat i833, rolled out last year for Bloomingdale's by wild child fashionista Kimora Lee Simmons for US$699.99. Now all that's needed to add more glitter to this latest shiny new toy is a default ringtone like Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

BenQ Z2 MP3-phone

Juniper Foo | Jul 05, 2005

BenQ, hopefully through the acquisition of Siemens, may yet introduce its own-name phones here on our sunny little isle. For now, we can only admire from afar the newly launched Z2, the latest MP3-phone to join a growing heap of music-capable mobiles, some of which we caught at CommunicAsia2005. Interestingly, BenQ's chosen a shape less common, specifically a cube. We all know what happens to odd-shaped phones (think N-Gage and Xelibri). Hopefully, the Z2 has a longer shelf life as it sounds promising enough on paper. There's triband support, 58MB usable internal memory, miniSD memory card slot, a 1.5-inch, 128 x 128-pixel, 256,000-color LCD screen and built-in 1.3-megapixel camera. And, of course, there's MP3 playback with lyrics display, six equalizers, shuffle, ID3 V2 function, 3D surround sound and an FM tuner.
