LG Debuts 18K Gold, Limited-Edition 'Ironman' Phone

Ironman LG Shine

Regardless of whether or not Jon Favreau's movie version of 'Ironman,' which opens on May 2, turns out to be any good, you can bet that a certain limited-edition, 18-karat gold Ironman/LG Shine handset will be a hit, at least among the lucky few who have a chance to win one. According to LG, the phone is worth about $2,000, and the gold covers the entire back end, as you can see from the above picture.

We got a sneak peak yesterday -- a solid gold back certainly makes a statement, in our view, but other than the red and gold body, it's pretty much a standard issue Shine slider, with tri-band GSM that will work with any T-Mobile or AT&T Wireless SIM card. Be glad you can't even pay the $2,000 if you wanted to -- in other words, you can only win one by going to the 'Ironman' Web site after April 15 (okay, maybe you could buy one off an enterprising contest winner on eBay for considerably more than $2,000).
