Tonino Lamborghini Spyder handsets are the latest in luxury gadgets, but Lamborghini should stick to cars

The league of ultra luxurious and ultra ugly mobile handsets has a new addition in the Tonino Lamborghini Spyder handset. The reason the range is priced at a whopping US$1781 (HK$13,800) to UIS$2813 (HK$21,800) is because they come with a 316L-grade stainless steel casing and a 2.2-inch (240 x 320 pixels) sapphire crystal scratch resistant LCD display. A 3MP camera (with VGA video recording) is the best they could throw in it seems and the range isn’t even 3G enabled but they are hand crafted and hand polished (makes no sense since you’ll have to polish it yourself as well, by hand after your fingerprints smudge the daylights out of it). A few models in the Spyder range namely the S-670, S-680 and S-685 which are the higher end models have rose gold, gold and black/gold PVD finishes. The S-600 is singled out and comes with DLC (Diamond-Like Coating) while the S-610 and S-620 have simple black PVD finishes. Maybe Lamborghini should stick to cars and laptops. The handset are incidentally headed to Hong Kong.
