Apart from Vertu, which smartly figured out that the rich will pay $20,000 to have a handset that the rest of us can t own, most recent attempts at mixing fashion and cellphones (like the Xelibri from Siemens) have been laughable.

They claim it’ll help manufacturers “fully participate in fashion trends,” as if that’s been what’s really holding them back.
