samsung-gold-olympics.jpgSamsung put this Golden phone on the market exclusively for the China Olympics 2008.

His regular cousin Samsung E848 is famous for being the world’s slimmest slider phone, and the Samsung E848 18-K gold is also only ten mm wide. This golden beauty has 2.2-inch QVGA LCD screen, MP3 player, 3D surround output, 2 mega pixel digital camera, 70MB space, and micro-SD slot for additional memory.

Well … On this blog we’ve been writing about golden mobiles and diamond laptops … And when you buy those two … Why not also having a fridge “Crystallized with Swarovski”. Read the rest of this entry »
