Forget being classy and respecting those with practically nothing in this recession. For some retarded reason Nokia is putting out a new version of the classic (used to be regular?) 6700 in gold. Not the color, more like the karat.

The gilded object of stupidity has been defended as Nokia as being not “just about the 18-carat gold finish”.

Nokia 6700 in genuine gold

They’re right, I would pay ~$550 for

“… custom wallpapers to complete the gold look, alongside that carry case and monster memory card. The Nokia 6700 classic Gold Edition is a well specced device, boasting a five-megapixel camera wrapped inside that glorious metal shell and of course GPS and Nokia Maps to help you find your way to the next jewelery store.”

The plating’s just gravy.

Hoping to land a new job with a nice comfortable middle income, and also realizing even my small bags are now large enough for non-tiny phones (was part of my quest), and well—-a phone is a phone based on its features, but there are always PINK cases…….so…..

Well we’ve all been seeing the awesome iPhone commercials with all those Apps, those awesome apps like … a level! OK that may sound silly to you, but the iPhone apps offer more than something for everyone. The newest and coolest Apps would ensure a better quality of life for everyone who can afford it, and if you can, I think it’d be totally worth the bills!

So now … I want to get an iPhone! (With a nice leather pink tight-fitting case, thank you). Do you want one as well? Check out the recent ads…

Do you want one now?

Oh no, say anything but… is pink out in the mobile world? Sure, T-Mobile (Mr. Pink themselves) and Verizon, Sprint… have great new phones in pink (stay tuned for some of these)… but AT&T (a bit of a leader since the iPhone) only has slightly older models in the shade(s).

With them, and others too (eek!) what abounds is a sea of red. Is red really the new chic color for girls…huh?

Well if you’re a pink warrior like I, you don’t need to fret whatever your carrier is…. there are usually pink snug-fitting cases/faceplates for at least the most popular or coolest models or shapes. (And the shape/opening style is one actually more important feature, thanks to availability of covers, yes I must admit).

Example, this transparent hot pink case for the (AT&T) Pantech Duo from EliteExtreme.

So you shouldn’t delay when in need of upgrading your old phone. (Older models are faster obsolete with the new 3G, in my speculation.) Find your best “fit” and browse for some fitting & flattering shaded case. Who knows, you might prefer a black & white polka dot cellie instead! There’s a world of imagined possibilities out there. Phones can be like clothes. (And that’s why this blog exists.)

Apple Computers is giving us working proof that environmentalism fails in the face of business. If a company produces things made of solar power, we think that’s green, as in environmentally-friendly, right? But if that company attempts to patent this technology, therefore not wishing to share/spread/encourage all competition to do the same (we’re not in competition when the Earth’s life is at stake though!) – that’s not about saving the world at all, it’s about getting the edge = getting the green, but not lush leafy green; dark, dirty dollar signs green.

Dirty is right! And it’s not sexy. Sure, sitting out on my back patio un-plugging away on my fully wireless-ness until I can’t take the global Florida heat anymore sounds like an attractive prospect, but this – it’s not “hot”. In fact, I find it rotten.

Motorola has officially announced the KRZR K1, aka the Canary. It should be available in the 2nd half of this year, which is sooner than was speculated. The first round will only offer the phone in dark gray and blue colors, though. But of course due to the popularity of pink, it’s of opinion that pink should follow in only a matter of time.

Call your friends, text your neighbors, the new Sidekick 3 is here! The much anticipated T-Mobile Sidekick is the latest celebrity must have. One of the highlights of the SK3 is the fact that it has Bluetooth, something the old SK didn’t have. It also has a removable battery, miniSD slot, USB syncing, 1.3-megapixel camera, and a beautiful display. As a total IM freak I am most excited about the fact that I can IM with the SK3. It supports AIM, MSN, and Yahoo! Chat. All in all I think the SK3 is almost cooler then my laptop.

The only thing better then the Motorola RAZR is the Moto SLVR Red. Humanitarian, and U2 front man, Bono has teamed up with Motorola as well as other companies to raise money to fight the Aids epidemic in Africa. Profits from the red phone as well as other specially designed products will go towards the cause. Every call made on the phone counts and keeps contributing to the cause. The phone itself is very sexy. It’s thin, light, and easy to use. It has an MP3 player, camera, and color screen.

Who knew something so stylish could help such a great cause? For more info visit: www.joinred.com

Introducing the Motorola “Canary” or the Razr 2. Cute Gadgets got photos of it via Engadget, but only Cute Gadgets showed the picture I’m most interested in:

Yes, it’s a phone as slim as the Razr, but much less wide. No word on colors, but when it comes out in pink for Cingular, it’ll be perfect, and it will be mine all mine. With my clumsiness, I think my current phone will be dropped too many times and need a replacement by then. The Canary is set to come out in 2007, but will a pink version come quickly right after??? I can only pray! (Yes, pray! For a phone, yes sillies.)

I’ve been wanting to pretty up my cell phone but haven’t wanted the puffy stickers that fall off or fake designer cases. So my poor lil phone has had to go out on numerous occasions, sans makeup. I was really in a bind about how I could dress up my cell until today. Motorola and Cingular just announced the latest and greatest thing—phone tattoos for the Motorola RAZR phones. The tattoos allow the customers to change the look of their handset to their own personal style.

How the Cell Phone Tattoos work:

The phone tattoos come in a 3-pack of pre-designed stickers created in various colors and patterns. The different packs include stickers of:

- Carbon Fiber, Grey Camouflage and Starburst Blue
or
- Pink Plaid, Pink Camouflage and Starburst Pink

My favorite thing about the phone tattoos is the ability to create your own tattoo.

You can get a pack of four blank tattoos that come with complete instructions on how to design and print customized tattoos which gives you the ability to show off your shoe collection, your boy toy, or just create a unique design. To create tattoos:

- Purchase Phone Tattoos By You!
- Download free software from Motorola

The great thing about the tattoos is that they can be easily peeled off and they don’t leave a residue, plus they are super cheap, only $9.99 per pack.

I’m off to get my phone tatts so I can take my phone out on the town all dolled up!
