The Ferrari phone – features camera, horse
Perhaps paranoid of leaving anything unsaid, Motorola’s latest unveiling is the RAZRmaxx V6 Ferrari Challenge Mobile Phone Limited Edition. We can’t really describe it any better than the product name does already…
Sporting the famous cavallino rampante on the outside of the clamshell, genuine Ferrari V8 sound effects, red backlighting, themed wallpapers and car photos complete the branding, while the $635 price also gives it that desired Ferrari exclusivity.
As for the phone itself, 3.6 Mbps HSDPA broadband brings the phone up to speed, and the now-standard 2MP camera and second, outward-facing VGA screen are joined by external media controls.
Not that Ferrari fans could care less. That logo could be stickered onto the side of an empty beans can attached to a piece of string and they’d buy it.

Style time for man bag users; Prada, anyone?
Although unlikely to sway man bag haters, dispatches from the runways of Europe are promising for those who prefer totes to pockets.
Trends this season (and whoever thought we’d be discussing trends and man bags side-by-side) are broad and accessible. Fabrics, colours, styles – many major houses are designing a wide range, including Paul Smith, Valentino, Balenciaga and an Italian big-bag specialist…
Prada
Prada has them in updated styles with soft leather in a soft, squishy duffle shape. Held on the runway almost like a clutch, straps hanging down, it’s a totally manly accessory for any businessman with an edge. Paired with a slim gray suit, it’s just the look for the season.
If you’re still a little unsure about throwing a bag strap around your shoulder everyday, Prada might not be your brand of choice for now (you can instead opt for something manlier, like a shooting bag from Bill Amberg), but for those who are a little tired with the army surplus canvas satchel, maybe a designer man bag is the way to go this year.
