The first low-cost Ferrari cell phone


Then came with Motorola MotoRAZR Maxx Ferrari V6 Limited Edition, a Ferrari phone is not a new thing to see. But the V6 Maxx looks just like a phone, not like a car. Assuming that the world needed a phone that actually like a Ferrari, an anonymous producer came with such a handset. And I am not sure whether I should welcome this news with joy, or simply with a smile tendentious.

The handset we talk is simply "F1" and it was spotted on special phones - a dealer sells that devices manufactured in China, South Korea, Japan, China, China and China (with more than a mention of China is intentional, of course, because most of the phones sold through these dealers come from there).

The F1 Ferrari looks like a toy car, but in fact hiding under his red body, a functional mobile presented, which, if the "car" upside down. In relation to the functions, the F1 provides dual-band GSM connection, a 2.2-inch display (touchscreen apparently) with a 176 x 220 pixel resolution and 260k Colors, MP3 player, video player (3GP and MP4), WAP browser and embedded games. The phone weighs 82 grams, measures 120 x 42 x 25 mm (ouch, that's thick - 1 inch), and also has a 1.3-megapixel camera, integrated into the car windscreen. Pure genius.

The F1 can be bought from special phones for $ 190 (120 euros) plus shipping charges, without a contract and without any guarantee that they are working properly.

Anyway, I wonder what the actual Ferrari has to say about this. Not about the "work" part, but on the whole thing. I suppose, you know, Ferrari branded goods a lot of non-car-related products, including fragrances, eyewear, or pencils, but the F1 phone is not safe, following an agreement with the Italian company.
