Oh this is just horrible. I’m all about integrating technology into my life wherever possible (as long as it is convenient and helpful) – but this is one of those things I just look at and think, “Why??”
British fashion student Georgie Davies has created a dress that lights up as you receive calls on your cell. Davies, who had some help from Sony Ericsson to merge technology with fashion, had some interesting logic behind her creation:
“When you’re in a pub or a bar, you can never, ever hear your phone,” Davies to Reuters.
What, no one uses vibrate anymore? The dress is knee-length, white, and covered with shoulder-to-hip translucent scales that move and blink. Here is tennis star Maria Sharpova modeling, with a cell phone, because… why not?
Davies plans for the dress to incorporate Bluetooth technology so that it can wirelessly interact with phones. The only thing that could make this dress worse would be if it lit up in sync with your ringtone. Don’t get any ideas!!

My favorite part is probably the use of the word “Funnerer.” Cute. And only a little bit obnoxious.
Phone cards are SO five years ago. Now, it’s all about the disposable cell phone, or at least it will be, thanks to Hop-on Inc. The company unveiled it’s $20 (13 Euros) disposable cell phones at CTIA in Las Vegas this year. The compact and recyclable units have a Texas Instruments chipset and works on 900/1800 MHz frequency, but no LCD screen. This is essentially JUST for making calls – absolutely no frills or extras.
A European distributor just picked up 10,000 of the phones for an intial test run. Sounds like a great solution for traveling, no? Hop-on also recommends the phone for kids, teens, and seniors.

Just when you thought these luxury phones couldn’t get any more elaborate, along comes the blue and white diamond encrusted MOTOKRZR Roma.
Roma – as in, the ancient Greek city. And this phone is almost as marvelous as the city itself.
The phone itself is Cosmic Blue – and is encrusted with a total of 325 blue and white diamonds (thats a total of 4-5 carats in weight) and 18CT white gold. It’s designed by Peter Aloisson, has a reflective glass front, bluetooth, and an mp3 player.
Oh, and it’s $29,992.50.
Does it get any ritzier than this?
