One of the trend in mobile space that has emerged in last few years is that of luxury phones. Many mobile manufacturers have tried making and selling these luxury phones after collaborating with the luxury brands but somehow they haven’t proved to be as successful as the regular ones. It’s obvious by now that most mobile users seek function over look.

It has however not deterred Sony Ericsson to launch a Dolce & Gabbana “Jalou” and I don’t know what this name means. It is going to be launched in two version: one would be a basic one while another being a limited edition model. The clamshell design with that ultra stylish powder case will definitely appeal to high maintenance ladies. As for us lesser mortals or geeks we’d just give a tiny little look at the specs and move on.

Jalou has a diamond shaped design with a two inc display (that’s small for me), 3.2 MP camera with video recording, an FM tuner, Bluetooth 2.0. multimedia player. web browser  and quad-band GSM / tri-band HSPA connectivity. Did I also tell you that it has a mirror, yes a real real mirror. The limited version is going to be 24k gold-plated while the normal version will be available in  Deep Amethyst, Aquamarine Blue and Onyx Black. Expected to be in market around the beginning of next year.
