Royal Wedding Phone! I'm buying 3!

As far as kitsch goes, the Royal Wedding Phone is high on the list.

Everyone's trying to make a quick buck from the wedding of second to the throne and Kate Middleton. And can you really blame them?

 

The £20 million regal affair will bring in loads of cash as people (mainly Americans) fly in from all around the world (mainly America) to see the college sweethearts get hitched.

 

Getting into the spirit of everything British, the Carphone Warehouse has come out with a special edition Royal Wedding mobile phone.

 

The Alcatel phone features a patriotic Union Jack casing and the royal couples initials and wedding date inscribed on the back. Party favours sorted!

 

At £14.95, the souvenir handset is a bargain - considering I can jack up the prices on eBay in hopes of attracting some nice decent folks in America's heartland on AT&T or T-Mobile to buy them by the bucket loads!

 

If they sell out,  I'm sure there will be some knock-offs kicking around in the Chinatown's of the world, possibly with Price Harry's face instead.

 

The candy bar model features a 1.5 inch colour screen, FM radio, 64 ringtones, a clock with alarm and calculator.

 

But hurry - supplies are limited!

The Carphone Warehouse is introducing the Appys, a UK competition for the best in mobile applications complete with a glitzy awards ceremony in Spring 2011.

The British public will get to cast their vote for the most innovative apps of the year, but from a shortlist of the top 50 apps decided by a panel of expert judges.  Pick me! 

More details coming next month!
