Æ+Y Mobile Phone [THE SCORE]

For those who just want a beautiful mobile phone that makes calls and does little else may want to join us in fantasizing about this new phone by Æ+Y. We say fantasizing because there is no way we’re going back to a phone with no apps and we’re not going to pay $8,000 for any phone. So we will just look and admire the gorgeous gold or steel form factor of Yves Behar-designed AE+Y’s basic mobile phone that does nothing but make calls and showcases such ahead-of-its-time features such as voice dialing and alarm clocks. So why did we list this as a score? Because it’s beautiful to look at and we’re hoping somebody at Apple or Samsung jacks the design to inspire future designs of phones that cost $199 with a service provider upgrade.

If you have 8 stacks and change to waste on a pretty state of the art mobile phone that does little to nothing by all means visit the French vendor site Colette and get at their exclusive.
