Nokia's limited edition Oakley N97 mini is a match made in Dog heaven

Nothing says, "I don't play sports but I want you to think that I do" quite like wearing a pair of Oakley shades. And no smartphone has had a tougher time earning respect than the mini version of Nokia's N97 debacle. To its credit, the N97 mini has become a very successful device for Nokia despite its namesake with not one, but two special edition runs already under its belt. Now we've got three with this limited edition model handed out to Oakley-sponsored Winter Olympians. Other than a laser-etched back, the Noakleyia mashup also comes packed with exclusive Oakley team content. Just 200 were produced so if you see it on eBay, you'd better be fast with the snipe. Gratuitous N97 mini video of Shaun White after the break because over-saturated is not in your vocabulary.

From that video you'd think alls people done on a snowboard was spin around.

"Hurry up, fetch your N97 Mini limited edition before we release the next limited edition"

Seriously? They should make this damn thing customizable from day 1. If you want the device all in black with red buttons and a dragon behind it? No probs. Want a big US and A flag with SARAH PALIN 2012 written on it? There you have it...

Bad is having limited edition after limited edition...

Just when you thought a crap handset couldn't get any worse, this co-branded rubbish comes along.

Why does Nokia bother any more.

I had to read "Noakleyia" three times before I pronounced it right. At least it's more inventive and Noakley or Oaklia,
