Collaboration with fashion labels or iconic figures seems to be the rage these days. On the show floor of the Mobile World Congress here in Barcelona, we spotted some Sagem Wireless phones co-designed with Porsche.
The P9522 is a simple tri-band phone with a design inspired by the sports car label. Though not a PDA-phone, it does have a generous 2.8-inch AMOLED 400x240-pixel display (the Omnia HD also has the same screen technology), and a biometric fingerprint sensor for security. The unit also has a built-in GPS receiver and an autofocus 5-megapixel camera. It will be available in Europe later this year for 600 euros.
And who can resist this cute Hello Kitty phone? For now, all we know about it is that it comes with 10 Hello Kitty wallpapers, a 1.3-megapixel camera, FM radio, Bluetooth, and TransFlash (microSD) memory slot. It will be available only in Austria, Poland, and Czechoslovakia.
