The New Nation - Internet Edition

IT DESK REPORT

Ah, designer phones. The staple diet of the modern youths and rarely seen outside the confines of the swankiest footballers bars and most distinguished of 'more money than sense' social gatherings.

You're even less likely to catch a glimpse of the Levi Red tab phone, not because it's ludicrously expensive like the diamond encrusted offerings from Vertu, but because it's an 'ultra limited edition' phone, of which only 100 will be made.

It's a pretty stylish design admittedly, with an etched winged skull design on the back and distinctive red tab panel at the top. If you're interested in the features it has on offer, you'll find a two megapixel digital camera with flash, an MP3 player, FM radio, micro SD slot and Bluetooth AD2P compatibility.

And if accessories are your bag there's a metal chain, hands-free headset and case in the box. You can even get your own name inscribed for that personalised bling factor.

If you think you've got a chance at getting your hands on one, you can expect to pay about 550 euros, which is actually quite reasonable for a limited edition fashion phone, though we'll keep our fingers crossed that common sense will prevail.
