An expensive way to say

"I am a cock".

How much

does one get paid for advertising Emporio Armani?

What was that? The customer actually pays to advertise Emporio Armani and gets a phone thrown in as an incentive?

Ah, maybe there is some kudos to having Emporio Armani emblazoned across ones phone, although this goes over my head completely. Could it be that such kudos is only recognised by those with a similar taste for such image conscious posing?

Style over substance

But that extra illumination will make life easier for muggers.

robbery

seems to me that having such a light on your phone is going to make it a bit of a theft target

[Tim Cook]

Emporio who?

Surely the tried and tested post-it note to the forehead marked "I am a complete kn*b" would be better value for money?

[Mr B]

Wow

that is one tacky phone.

Glows in the dark to make the dimwit full of cash ... and bad taste more visible.

Poxy Voda Live button

When will voda stop putting LIVE on everything whithout considering if it needs it.

I bought an internet capable mobile for surfing the web, not because I wanted a phone where half the functions can't be accessed because it's either going through the lousy vodafone WAP portal, or because the on screen right menu key is permenantly set to live obscuring the functions that should be there and I can't get through any other menu.

And whilst I'm on it a I bought a Wifi capable mobile to use the Wifi, not to try and use the GRPS for everything because voda think their network is perfect in all places and so lock email and internet to their data connection. Oh and lets also not forget crippling anthing that may actually use too much data (like MSN messenger) on their firmware too.

No wonder people flash them back to the stock firmware.

Can we get a Muppet icon please?

Really...

"it's here designated to the Vodafone Live! portal." --- "we’re surprised someone at Vodafone HQ didn’t consider the phonebook a priority option"

— Really? Live! is Voda's money extraction portal. Money extraction is the priority option, so hardcoded access on a very available button is pretty much mandatory.

As for the phone... chavvy.

XPress On Side Panels

Will they do a replacement panel with "MUG ME" or "MY OTHER PHONE'S AN IPHONE" etc?

Must have.

Not.

Empty of Substance, loadsa 'style'

I just had a look at their website. It's even more content free than I thought it would be, and I had low expectations.
