We love it when design and technology meet, and this time they meet in the form of a mobile phone. It's the Sony Ericsson Z310, released especially for the festive season, with a brand new, eye-catching look. The colourful outfit was designed by Agatha Ruiz de la Prada. And even though my eyes are normally totally blind to phones, this one is so pretty, I can't even look at it as a mobile phone, but as a fashion item.
The technical specs are the same as the regular version, and it comes with interchangeable face plates and wallpapers. The proud parent is Vodafone Europe, who's selling it for the very friendly price of 89 euros.
