Fiat to launch mobile phones!

"Fiat are set to become a manufacturer of 'high-technology' goods as they begin rolling out a range of Fiat-branded mobiles phones this month. These stylish and exclusive phones include all the technology that mobile phone consumers demand such as an MP3 reader, digital photo and video camera and cinema facility"

Fiat mobile!!!But there's no company to beat Nokia in India (dunno y)but i find Sony Ericsson's range is better than Nokia except for the battery life and resale value.
BTW i use a Nokia

Maybe they would if Tata agreed to sell & service them?

Well, are they also launching Ferrari, Masserati & Alfa Romeo mobiles?

yeah, sure ... i can imagine a mobile phone from fiat

it would probably be huge and bulky, weigh a ton, have the fastest processor around, have a rock-solid UI with umpteen security features, and so rugged that you can put a hammer to it without fear

and even though its battery may not last more than a couple of hours, the keypad may be smaller than your thumb, the screen may blank off to prevent you from taking pictures in bad-light, and search for proper repair and maintenance would take one to timbuktu without much luck, it would be one of a kind and owners would still swear by it
