It’s entirely safe to say that I know more about David Bowie’s Fashion than I do about fashion in general; that’s clearly FabSugar’s territory, after all. Reader Jubbin Grewal knows more, and has thoughts about what would make the perfect fashion phone. More »
There’s nothing worse than walking in your kitchen only to see your stupid sink, cabinets and countertops. Amiright?
Samsung’s original Armani phone was a tiny, touchscreen, haptic-feedback gizmo, and actually not bad looking at all: so I’m confused about the upcoming Armani 2 Night Effect. It’s a plain candybar mobile phone, emblazoned with large Emporio Armani emblems and it seems to have totally forgone attempts at simple stylishness. Get this—around the edge of the phone there’s a red, green or blue-LED glowing strip, presumably the “night effect” part. Maybe it’s my impression of what style is, but that’s just tacky. The specs of the phone aren’t too amazing either.
The Samsung/Armani design train keeps rolling, now from mobiles to HDTVs. Today in Milan, Sammy and Giorgio showed off the first Armani LCD TVs—a 46-incher and a 52-inch model. Both are 100Hz “Full HD” sets (hopefully that means 1080p, not 1080i), and will strut their stuff in Europe, Korea and Russia this summer. The fashionable part is apparently the customisable Samsung and Armani logos. Ooooo… Oh, and it’s got two remotes, a mini-pebble for basic functions, and a swankier one that does everything, but we don’t have any pics of ‘em yet. No price, but it’s probably stupid expensive.

Susi from Shiny Shiny has a hands-on demo of the Samsung Armani phone we showed you earlier. Not to spoil anything, but the phone has part of a UI that’s Cover Flow-esque. Oh, and Susi dies at the end. [Shiny Shiny] More »
It’s not the first time we’ve seen Samsung’s Armani phone, but its official unveiling happened in Milan yesterday, following Giorgio’s runway show. The credit-card-sized phone is 10.5 mm wide, has haptic feedback and will be on sale in Europe from November. An Armani-Samsung Casa LCD TV is to follow in January. Stats, pricing and more pics and pricing of the cell are below. More »
Samsung and Armani have teamed up to create this fashion-y phone, the P520, Armani’s answer to the Prada Phone. It’s a relatively sleek touchscreen phone with a 2.6-inch screen, a 3MP camera, a microSD slot, 50MB of onboard memory, a pokey GMS/EDGE connection, and Wi-Fi. Cool? This neutered iPhone is set to drop in Europe for a far-from-reasonable $550. No word on it coming from the States, but I will say that it’s nice to see an Armani product that isn’t in an advertisement with a dude with abs that make me feel completely inadequate. Not all of us have time for 5,000 crunches a day, Armani! [Unwired View via CrunchGear] More »
