Samsung gets arty

You've been asked to design a customised casing for a mobile phone, so what do you do? You stick a big picture of yourself on it of course! Too good an opportunity to miss. We approve wholeheartedly. Not that we're sure we'd actually want to own one of designer Diane von Furstenburg's Samsung VM-A680 phones. They may be exclusive (just 1000 in existence); they may carry an Andy Warhol print, but we're just not sold on that black and red colour palette.

Glad to see our favourite current obsession, the phone charm, is present and correct, though, and there's a rather unusual carry case in the form of a "Cityband" that lets you strap your phone round your arm like a big fool. There's also space to store a lipgloss, but we'd never use that pocket. Everyone thinks we look this fabulous naturally - why spoil it all with the truth?

If you simply *must* have one (daaarrling), you'll need to be an American - or at the very least living among them.
