Gadget of the Day – K510i Julien Macdonald

So, Kate Moss has been launching her own line of clothes at Topshop. Well no matter, because Orange has lured the, er, equally famous Julien Macdonald – you know, the Welsh answer to Simon Cowell off Sky’s Project Catwalk – to craft it a designer fashion phone.And here it is, a pay-as-you-go Sony Ericsson, dressed in an exclusive J Mac shell. Six air kisses and a glass of pink champagne later, we can reveal that it’s inspired by ‘exotic flowers’ which are ‘just perfect’ for the phone’s spring launch. We’ll just say it’s, ‘different’.Still, beneath the multicoloured menagerie there’s a perfectly good K510i fighting to get out, with Bluetooth, MP3 playback and a 1.3MP camera. And no designer price tag either, just 45 quid to you, squire. Go on, it’ll look lovely in this sunny weather with that man bag.
