Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute® said,

We’re seeing fashion designers gravitate toward olive and rose tones, as forecasted in the PANTONE Fashion Color Reports for Fall 2008 and Spring 2009. Olive green and Vibrant rose are both strong fashion colors, offering a sense of sophistication and elegance. These hues are classic colors, with the longevity to translate from season to season.

Well we can not but agree with this stalwart but I am very doubtful if such colors will be gladly accepted by the buyers. For me it looks too soft and retro-type to believe that it is actually a cell phone. Though the shape is rather cute and with lightweight design, rounded corners and soft buttons it has an appeal too.

The other features like mp3, camera, video are as standard as modern day mobile phones.

What do you guys say about it? Too cool or a concept went wrong? because when it comes tofashion of our lappies and gizmos, we, gadgetophilics give a damn to ramps.
