DALLAS & MILAN, May 20, 2010 / FW/ — With Versace Unique, the first luxury touchscreen and full-featured smartphone, Milan-based Versace fashion house enters the wireless world.
To be sold through the most important exclusive watch and fine jewellery networks and Versace flagship boutiques worldwide from early June 2010, Versace Unique is a true luxury item with its face constructed from pure high-tech ceramic or handmade lacquers delicately framed with an 18K yellow gold finish or 316L grade stainless steel inlay.
The back is wrapped in the finest handcrafted leather, embossed with the Medusa head. The Versace Unique sapphire crystal screen is the largest single piece of this high-tech material ever produced for consumers.
Impossible to scratch, smooth and receptive, it provides an ideal conductivity and precision control of the touchphone interface.
Versace Unique unites all essential functions for professional and personal use, crafted from the finest materials, hand-assembled in France and built to the uncompromising standards of all the Versace products.
Beneath the precious exterior of Versace Unique lies a world of advanced technology created by LG that guarantees a seamless interface between life and technology, design and usefulness.
Versace Unique handles all the duties of a phone, 3G network, client e-mail, media player, full-powered 5-megapixel flash camera and netbook. It features unprecedented Dolby Mobile surround sound technology for high quality in ringtones, MP3 music files and video with 30 hours of playtime.
