Nokia's Sexy New Crystal 'Prism' Phone

by Evan Shamoon on January 25, 2008 at 10:03 AM

Nokia 7900

Nokia is really pushing the whole "phone as fashion statement" concept, which is actually fine by us so long as the phone itself doesn't suck muffins. Its newest piece of tech art, the Nokia 7900, comes with a fairly standard feature set: 2-megapixel camera, built-in MP3 player, EGPRS/GPRS Web browsing, and 1-gigabyte (GB) of internal memory.

More interesting is the phone's case: the "Crystal Prism" (Nokia's words, not ours) is unique, with its customizable back-lighting in 49 different colors. Graphic artist Frederique Dubal (whose resume includes graphic and textile designs for Nike in the Netherlands, Sony PlayStation in France, and Paul Smith in the UK), now has Nokia to add to the impressive client list, with laser-etched graphic designs and exclusive wallpapers available for the handset.

It's a 3G quad-band GSM jam, which means it'll work fast on all five continents, and is expected to be available in the first quarter of 2008 -- in Europe, for roughly the Euro equivalent of 554 dollars, or 6,028 pesos.
