It's grim. No one in the world with half a brain would ever be seen dead with one of those. Even if I had a Ferrari I wouldn't buy a ferrari-branded mobile, especially not a 902! ;)



Yeah, lovely stuff :D

[Jon3G]

I know the advert looks very tacky, but then again someone will buy them and we can stand and snigger

[3g-g]

Look, I'm only going to sign up if I get the racing suit and an F1 car to belt up and down the M6 in for a day.

I wonder what type of person you need to be to think that having a mobile with Ferarri branded all over it is cool, on the other hand, Joe Bloggs downloads a whole load of crap like sweety the f*ckin chick and now that nessie... Having the handset, ringtone, screensaver, operator logo changed is no different I suppose. The operators and manufacturers know they're onto a good thing by releasing gumff like this.

[Jon3G]

Its true lots of people will buy it just because its something different

[@NickyColman]

LMAO! If i see anyone with that phone i think i may be forced to walk over to them and slap them across the face!!

That phone is soooooo gonna be abused by those who wanna appear cool but are infact sad as fooooooook!

Id like to know who it was in Vodafone that walked into the board meeting one day and went " i know, lets do a ferrari phone".....coz i think hes ineed of a slap too!

[Hands0n]

Bleubean is a Happy Slapper :) (don't forget to video your activities and post them on the forum!).

I must agree with the sentiment so far - what sad g*t wants a phone painted red and with a Ferrari logo on it? We've got enough idiots out on the roads thinking they are Fitipaldi without them waving their red handsets at us as they drive and text/talk/mms etc..... How many will think they can go faster now 'cos they have one of these. How many driver corpses hands will the emergency services have to prise a red handset out of? (I claim this weeks "Most convoluted sentence prize").


The mind boggles :eek:


On further consideration I'm totally with 'B' - slaps all round for Vodafone :(

[@NickyColman]

LMAO @ Hands0n! We should all get our videophones and go and slap the living daylights out of Vodafone execs and stream it across the world!

Ok how many weeks does everyone think before Mr Beckham appears in The Sun or News Of The World with a Ferrari phone?

[miffed]

I have heard a rumour that Three are going to launch a "skoda" or "Kia" handset

.....Remember , You heard it on Talk3G first !

[Hands0n]

@Miffed - I think you have it wrong. The news cutting I read said that they were launching a Rover handset. Seems quite appropriate really
