LG Creates Limited Edition Iron Man Phone

Iron Man is the next Superhero movie getting ready to hit the big screen on May 2 but where would his alter ego, Tony Stark be without his trusty cell phone? Like any big shot business man it's a necessity and why can’t Iron Man have a separate phone too I ask? LG decided to do just that by partnering with Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures designing a limited edition LG Shine handset for the jet boot propelled Superhero's movie.



This handset is set in 18 karat gold plating and red and only a 100 pieces have been made. The problem is though, is that the phone is available only via entering a marketing contest. The specs include a 2.2 inch TFT display, 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth with A2DP, EDGE and microSD card support. Hardly something a Tony Stark or Iron Man would use, personally speaking of course.

The estimated price of the handset is somewhere around Rs. 72,000 ($1,800). Check out the cool contest page here. Unfortunately it seems to be only for people residing in the USA.
