A Giorgio Armani phone might not make it to your must-have gadget list for this year. Made by Samsung and running Windows Mobile 6.5 this Giorgio Armani is actually quite an interesting smartphone. The less interesting part is, as you can imagine, the price.
This Giorgio Armani phone has been announced today in Milan and it will cost you €700 or about $1,032 which is a bit too much for a smartphone these days. Sure it’s a stylish Giorgio Armani-branded phone but that’s not enough for me to purchase it. The Samsung phone is definitely worth inspecting. Its specs make it a dependable gadget ready to help you make calls, send a tone of messages and emails, watch videos, listen to your favorite tracks and run various Windows Mobile 6.5 apps from the newly launched Marketplace. But there are other cheaper handsets capable of doing all that and even more!
What’s so special about this phone in order for it to cost that much? The handset comes in bronze and black colors but it doesn’t carry any fancy items like embedded diamonds or gold logos. Looking at the Samsung Giorgio Armani phone you will remember Nokia’s N97 as this handset combines both a generous 3.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen display and a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard. The phone also boasts a 5-megpixel camera, 8GB of internal storage, GPS, microSD support and Windows Mobile 6.5 will be running conveniently in the background.
Neither Samsung nor Microsoft mentioned when this Giorgio Armani will be available and there doesn’t seem to be any carrier interested at this point in subsidizing the phone. If you’re fine with the price you’ll have to get the phone straight from Samsung once the manufacturer makes it available.
We would certainly love to see Samsung launch a version of this phone for the masses. You know, one that doesn’t have the same Giorgio Armani brand. Otherwise we’ll simply have to revert to cheaper, but equally capable solutions like the N97 or the HTC Touch Pro2 also known as the Tilt 2 in certain markets.
