World cup football phone won’t win any prizes

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

There are only a few days left until the world’s biggest sport event breaks loose: the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. All markets are already flooded with merchandising, but now we also have this beautifully designed football shaped phone from FocalPrice for $91.56/€75.32. The chances of me ordering this phone are about as big as those of Holland winning the world cup: we never won that one. GO HOLLAND!

Cigarette lighter cellphone… I always needed that.

Thursday, February 4th, 2010


Some people say that China doesn’t innovate and only steals ideas, but have you ever seen cellphone with a built-in cigarette lighter before? I hope not. Besides the lighter, the Machismo lacks any other killer features. It’s still one of those dime a dozen triband mehh-phones, with a low res screen and a VGA camera. I also wonder if a built-in lighter increases the chance of your cellphone exploding. Oh well, health risks don’t seem to bother smokers anyway. Get the Machismo for $68.51/€49.68 at Chinavasion.
