Samsung
announces Olympic gold mobile phone
In celebration of the 2008
Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China, official worldwide wireless
communications sponsor Samsung has literally gone for gold with the development
of its latest mobile phone handset.
The Samsung P318+ mobile handset is a special edition of the P310 handset with
one striking difference – while the handset of the P310 is made of ordinary
brushed metal, the exterior of the yet-to-be-released P318+ model has been
upgraded to 18-carat gold.
According to gadget guide website Gizmodo, additional special features on the
new gold phone will include Olympic Games-themed ringtones and wallpapers and
features a design of the Olympic rings on the back.
The handset will be released as a limited edition model, although the company
has not yet said how many units will be released, or how much the P318+ model
will cost consumers.
According to the Tech Gadgets blog, for customers looking for Olympic-themed
mobile phone products without the anticipated steep price of the P318+ handset,
Samsung also plans to unveil three other mobile phones in honour of the summer
games.
