Has Ferrari no sense of decency? Now the esteemed Italian carmaker-cum-gadget ho has agreed to festoon its logo on yet another geegaw, this time the Sony Ericsson K800i cellphone. If you recall, the K800i has been available for over a year, and has a 3.2-megapixel autofocus camera and Dual Mode GSM/GPRS/UMTS connectivity. There's no word on which carriers will offer the phone, nor when it will be available or at what cost.
So now there are laptops, a handful of cellphones, and a few other assorted gizmos with the Ferrari logo all over them. That said, this is a fine-looking phone with that Ferrari logo on board. Come to think of it, we're getting tired of our Michael Graves toilet brush and want one with the Ferrari logo on it now.

Just following Lamborghini's lead with Acer
People in the U.S. just don't get how big F1 is "outside". Now that we are sort of starting to get the sport of football (soccer), imagine the pull of a Manchester United. Now apply that to automobile racing. We mock, but it's Ferrari and Sony who will be laughing all the way to the bank.
It really sucks that Ferrari is on it's way to being like Hummer.
Someone's got to pay Kimi's salary!
Wheres this "Carmaker Cum Gadget" you speak of? I want a ferrari porta-pussy!
This is a disgrace. They clearly took a page out of Acer/Lambourghini's book, and the phone doesnt even look good. To be honest, without reading the title, i figured you were doing a retro post on some casset walkman. Brutal. Just, brutal.
Uh...Acer makes the Ferrari laptops. Asus does the Lamborghini ones.
For the record, the Acer and Ferrari were the first ones to make an automotive logo-based laptop series. Asus and Lamborghini just followed suit.
