Samsung's Giorgio Armani WinMo smartphone to be revealed June 11

Do you speak Italian? We don't either, but we're still pretty sure the above image has something to do with Samsung, Microsoft, and Giorgio Armani, and that the three are set to collide on June 11. Given the earlier talk of a WinMo fashionphone from the trio we're pretty sure what to expect, but wouldn't mind being surprised with some really high-tech business wear. We'll bring you more as it happens, you gadget fashionista you.

[Thanks, Ron]

[legione @ May 29th 2009 8:15AM]

I can speak italian,
this is an invitation about a press conference on June 11th 09 and it's about a microsoft/samsung mobile phone

[joey @ May 29th 2009 8:17AM]

va fanculo

[erhan @ May 29th 2009 8:48PM]

Ferrari
Lamborghini
Maserati

[Saad Rabia @ May 29th 2009 8:13AM]

It will be another over priced, under speced phone by GA.

[Argot @ May 29th 2009 8:18AM]

Yeah, almost like buying an iPhone or something.

[Saad Rabia @ May 29th 2009 8:33AM]

Not really Argot, I mean at least the iPhone has a combination of good hardware and software; the software alone at this stage justifies the price, and compared to other phones the iPhone is well priced.

GA in the other hand, brings nothing but old hardware with some lame design signed by Giorgio himself and priced as if it was a piece from heaven!

[EI8HT @ May 29th 2009 8:50AM]

your just jealous that your not invited to the press conference ya Saad :P

and its usually Prada phones that are overpriced and under spec

and to be honest i have not seen a GA phone to judge on , though i did see a Emporio Armani phone (also from samsung)

[EI8HT @ May 29th 2009 8:56AM]

i forgot about the samsung P-520 which is a GA

[iKurt 5D @ May 29th 2009 1:13PM]

I agree with Saad when he came to the conclusion that the iPhone is indeed superior. The fact that the GA runs Windows Mobile (or any other OS other than OSX) is sure to be an instant fail.

[abdalla.hajjaj @ Aug 13th 2009 8:05AM]

who cares, you DON'T like it then DON'T buy it

[ALEIS @ May 29th 2009 8:14AM]

wow!!
winmo year for sure!

bye bye competition! :)

[Hackettman @ May 29th 2009 9:44AM]

We'll see..... Android is doing some delicious stuff.....

[damiaking @ May 29th 2009 8:16AM]

not a big fan of Armani and not a fan at all of windows mobile

[G[3z] @ May 29th 2009 8:23AM]

It says:
"Have the pleasure to invite you at the press conference
to present the new cellphone giorgio armani - samsung"

"Thursday 11th of June 2009 hrs 11:30"
from italy with love :)

[zephead @ May 29th 2009 11:50AM]

"We have the pleasure..."

[G[3z] @ May 29th 2009 12:08PM]

Well, the subjects are Giorgio Armani samsung microsoft. i thought i could avoid to translate that :)

[TareX @ May 29th 2009 8:26AM]

Luxury phones almost always FAIL. And don't look as good as they think.

[Pontro! @ May 29th 2009 8:27AM]

Giorgio Armani is my favorite designer,

But Samsung is my least favorite electronics brand.

And Windows Mobile... U know...

[Wwhat @ May 29th 2009 8:38AM]

Least favourite? Of all players? Why exactly? Not that they don't all have things that annoy people, I'm just curious what makes you pick samsung as winner, they don't seem that bad to me.

[Pontro! @ May 29th 2009 8:46AM]

Everything Samsung I owned break in one year,
Refrigerator
DVD player
Plasma TV
Microwave oven
Color Screen flip phone (That's long time ago.)


maybe it's my bad luck with samsung, so this brand didn't impress me at all.

[Pontro! @ May 29th 2009 8:47AM]

Everything Samsung I own broken down in one year,
Refrigerator
DVD player
Plasma TV
Microwave oven
Color Screen flip phone (That's long time ago.)


maybe it's my bad luck with samsung, so this brand didn't impress me at all.

[Wwhat @ May 30th 2009 2:11AM]

Yeah must be bad luck because I have a samsung microwave aged many many years running fine

[Sam @ May 29th 2009 8:29AM]

if only it was giorgio armani samsung and google...

[Wwhat @ May 29th 2009 8:39AM]

You'd have all the money and would still save a bundle on suits.

[freediverdude @ May 29th 2009 8:41AM]

Maybe they should make an Abercrombie phone, that comes with a free wallpaper of a model with his shirt off or something, lol. Wait, I'm giving them too many ideas.....

[superhobo @ May 29th 2009 8:51AM]

bs

[Cander @ May 29th 2009 8:54AM]

When will the Diesel phone be out. You know, the one that you buy already scratched and dinged up?

[singj51 @ May 29th 2009 9:19AM]

With all these new smartphones comings out, the prices are going to drop considerably in the next year or two.

Meh. I can only afford Giorgo Nomani and Samsong semismartphones.

[The Heretic @ May 29th 2009 11:08AM]

I take that back, seems that's an old phone.
Here's the new one. http://giorgioarmanisamsungphone.com/

[darkmax @ May 29th 2009 11:18AM]

i hope they don't mess it up.

[papzadsl @ May 29th 2009 12:27PM]

Well, as a matter of fact I, as an italian (who is deeply ashamed of Berlusconi, BTW), speak italian pretty well ;)

Not that a translation is worth that much, as some readers have pointed out, but for some purpose I offer you one: "Giorgio Armani, Samsung, Microsoft, have the pleasure to invite you to the new Giorgio Armani-Samsung cellphone's press conference — Thursday, June 11th, 11:30am".

[Tony @ May 29th 2009 1:09PM]

It's "press conference presentation". Not just an ordinary press conference.

[ori @ May 29th 2009 1:24PM]

The new Samsung Armani is a logical successor to the P520, branded with the Armani high end Brand, while Emporio (Samsung M7500 ) is another story.

I hope for a very good and competitive phone, the one that can be selected over the new Iphone for its design while not sacrificing the functionality.

[Vicky @ May 29th 2009 2:10PM]

Wow...

[Lancelot @ May 29th 2009 2:17PM]

I guess Giorgio Armani doesn't know much about Winmo, or used it. I'd never risk my good name on such an unreliable OS & company.. Nothing new & original here.

[va jj @ May 29th 2009 3:56PM]

will it cost more than the motorola aura?

[Rafa @ May 30th 2009 4:40PM]

I took 2 semesters of italian (so that must mean I'm a master of the language), the message reads:

GIORGIO ARMANI, SAMSUNG & MICROSOFT TIENEN EL PLACER DE INVITARLE A LA CONFERENCIA PRINCIPAL DE LA PRESENTACIÓN DEL NUEVO TELÉFONO CELULAR (o "móvil" para los de EspañaI) DE GIORGIO ARMANI-SAMSUNG.

Jueves, 11 de junio de 2009 a las 11:30 horas.


Did I forget to mention that my italian class was taught in Spanish? oops.

[saunajunkie @ May 30th 2009 10:03PM]

with our powers combined...

[miles @ Jun 27th 2009 12:08PM]

Has anything happend to this??? The 11th was a while ago...was it a fake? I searched everywhere...nowt.
