Aston Martin Mobile

Yep, a phone that with an exhaust note for a ring tone. Who says Aston are heading downmarket...?

---

Aston Martin and Motorola have come up with a unique co-branded Motorola V600, exclusively for Aston Martin.

The Aston Martin Motorola V600 is a limited edition handset. Only 1,000 versions of these Aston Martin 'phones will ever be made and to highlight this they will be branded with the Aston Martin logo and feature the sound of an Aston Martin engine as a ring tone.

The Motorola V600 handset boasts a large colour display screen, which reflects the style of the starter button fitted to the recently launched Aston Martin DB9. The handset also allows users to snap headshots of their new contacts for use in the visual caller-ID so that they can identify callers instantly.

The limited edition Motorola V600, each packaged in an exclusive Aston Martin gift box, will be available through the Aston Martin dealership network and direct from Aston Martin Parts and Merchandise Operations from 11th December 2003, priced at £389.00 (inc. VAT).

I'll pay £389.00 if they can make a frigging mobile sound like a V12.
