Fashionable or what? Nokia 7373 SE by Giambattista Valli

The news

Nokia has teamed up with fashion designer Giambattista Valli to create the Nokia 7373 Special Edition mobile phone being unveiled during Paris Fashion Week. It's available in pink or black - each with matching fashion accessories - and pitched at £189 (€280) before VAT and subsidies.

Rather than blather on about it, we'll let Nokia do that - and my, how it can blather.

Below is probably our favourite part of the press release but whole of that document is on page two for you to savour.

A true fashion phone, the Nokia 7373 Special Edition combines the splendor of the L'Amour Collection and the trendsetting talent of Giambattista Valli. The Nokia 7373 Special Edition comes in two contemporary colors, both enticingly paired with signature Giambattista Valli phone accessories.

The Nokia 7373 Special Edition Powder Pink marries the faded luxury of grand architecture of the L'Amour Collection with Valli's iconic pearl necklace for a strap and a miniature pink skull. This unique set is Valli's interpretation of the contradictory elements of an intensive romance.

The Nokia 7373 Special Edition Black Chrome fuses its elegant glossy black appearance with an en vogue gros grain and onyx-like crystal strap. A black skull adds the finishing touches to a sensually appealing display of fashion.
