Automobile Branded Phones…. The Lap of Luxury!!!


I’m sure you’ve all heard the phrase “boys and their toys”, this post is exactly about that. To most guys who grow up with a poster of a supercar on their bedroom wall, this post is relevant. And if you are a hyper-ultra-super-cool girl who can relate… this one’s for you too. 

See us boys grow up thinking primarily about two things in our heads, cars and gadgets (that is of course when we are not thinking about the fairer sex). And any and every opportunity in life that we get of purchasing either one is a day of joy for us, some much more so than others depending on the magnitude of the purchase. Ofcourse there is this fantasy list of cars that most of us (who have both our feet on the ground) only dream of acquiring. Us boys never miss out on an opportunity to praise and appreciate these marvelous pieces of machinery. 


But for those selected lucky few who have their fair share of ridiculous amounts of riches, these fantasy cars are items they can actually own. Keeping in mind these ultra-rich people and their lavish spending habits, certain companies came up with ideas to further temp their buying behaviors. In the pursuit for more cool toys for the super-rich, many different companies launched very expensive, limited edition Cell phones with “Automotive Branding”. Just like the super cool cars whose logos these phones carry, they tend to be super cool and highly desirable gadgets themselves. 

This post however is dedicated to the average guys. Guys who appreciate and admire the beauty and marvel associated with all the cool cars even though they do not own them. Here is for your viewing pleasure, these beautiful gadgets that have a little piece of the soul of the car they resemble stuck in them.  Enjoy!!!
