We have already seen quite some fashion brands enter the cellphone market. Sports brand Puma is the latest one. In roughly 46 days their new Puma Phone will be launched.

The phone comes with an integrated solar cell, music player, camera and all the usual features of a modern cellphone. Of course the brand kept sports in mind when creating the device. It comes with matching apparel and sports equipment (GPS run tracker, GPS bike speedo, pedometer, yachting compass, etc).

Also from a design stand point the phone does not look too bad. Now we just have to see how it performs.

After the jump you can find some more images of the new Puma Phone.

Nokia has come out in Europe with a new version of their high end 8800 series. This is probably the nicest version to date that we have seen of the phone. The Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte, comes as the name hints, with a carbon upper, sapphire screen and lots of other nice high end details. All that does not come cheap though – the phone is priced at 1600 USD.
Have a look at some more detailed shots of the 8800 Carbon Arte after the jump.

Sometimes the easiest and simplest ideas are the best. Orange France now teamed up with Bic, best known for their lighters and pens, to create the first "Ready-to-Call" cellphone. And for the first time the name actually makes sense and holds true. 
Not only do you get a phone and 60 minutes of talk time included in the 49 Euro package (about 62 USD), but the phone comes pre-charged, which means that you can actually start calling right after purchase. It’s the perfect phone for tourists or when you simply run out of battery. 
We also find it brilliant that Orange teamed up with Bic. Because what does Bic stand for at the end of the day? Cheap, decent quality and distributed EVERYWHERE. If they used the Bic distribution for the phone, this can be a huge success.
Also the design looks decent. We can even see the Bic phone becoming a cool accessory to have. Now it just needs to be more widely available, hopefully also outside France, and it will be a hit.
The Bic Phone is now available in the Colette online store.

Since a couple of years now we see high end fashion houses dipping into the cellphone market. Most recently Prada and Giorgio Armani made their moves, offering phones. But, let’s face it, to date we have seen nothing groundbreaking and even if the design was alright, in terms of functionality, they were always disappointing.
Now we came across first images of a new Chanel cellphone over at Artschoolvets. The phone carries the name Chanel Choco Phone and the screen as well as keyboard are hidden. Interesting concept and something we hope to see soon. For now there is no release date set.
More pics after the jump.
