Twilight-customized LG GD510 set to Eclipse all other phones in France
Think Apple and Android fans are hardcore? Those guys are mere lightweights compared to Twilight fanatics, who'll soon have a phone to call their own too. Coming with eight tie-in wallpapers and that embellished back cover, this version of the GD510 -- a thoroughly unexciting featurephone with ambitions above its 3-inch, resistive touchscreen station -- has just become available over in France, for free on contracts with Orange or in exchange for €199 ($238). As a bonus temptation, LG is also throwing in a free copy of Twilight: New Moon, though we doubt anyone buying this phone will have seen that movie less than a dozen times.

























Sex sells. Sometimes gimmicks do, too.
I will never use this as my main phone, even if someone offers me for free, let alone pay me a million dollars to use it.
@juanvaldez
Might sell my HTC Desire and get this
YOU SEE! this is why our robot overlords deserve the planet...we're wasting it...only a backward species would faun over such idiocy.
.
@Paul Elmy
... so someone offers you $1M to use this phone as your main phone and you would turn it down... And the *phone* is stupid?
Someone needs to examine his priorities...
@juanvaldez This is why we can't have nice things!
wow! when i will get a harry porter version?
oh wait! There's LG ally for iron man!
@hikashi1988
Harry Porter? What kind of rip off is this? :p
One word - Stupid!
@pavlindrom Stupid to not have a flash for the camera! How are all these vampires going to take pictures in the dark :/
@pavlindrom One Question.... Will it blend?
I wonder what Lord Vader has to say about this.
@RDM
What ever he says, it will be 'Highest Ranked', the force is strong with that one.
does it glitter?
@ChrisSsk
Does it cry?
Without the Twilight text and replacing that picture, it wouldn't be that bad. But...ew.
OMFG KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT!!!!!!!
...so yeah, I'm not exactly the biggest fan of that fake vampire book/film...
@r3loaded
"...so yeah, I'm not exactly the biggest fan of that fake vampire book/film..."
As opposed to the REAL vampire book/film?!?!?
@Hazdaz No, because there's no such thing as real vampires ;)
@r3loaded
Peter crouch is a prick.
@Apple Google Microsoft
I fully agre...wait what?
@Hazdaz Vaporware has it's benefits?
Does it sparkle in the sun? Oh and before those Twilight fan gungans come and try bite my neck, I better buy one of these phones, I could use it as bait to ward them off
@Lord Vader
Can't you just force choke them?
@cjheechul
Vampires don't breath silly mortal
I propose that we make Engadget a Twilight-free zone.
It's bad enough that they have to make this stuff, but you guys don't exactly have to report on it.

@FAP FAP FAP I thought the same thing after looking at your avatar/name...
@FAP FAP FAP
Don't discard it too fast, you could use it to lure tweens to your van.
Maybe this is a good thing, this way we can just kill all Twilight fans by having a small amount of posionous gas be released from the phone when it's used.
@bkkkk I have a better idea. Take my advice for the Oil Spill. But replace every instance of "Gungan" with "Twilight Fan" http://www.twitpic.com/1v5tkb
@bkkkk I like the way you think.
Value Addition?
Thanks for the article. I think Android, iPhone and Win7 fanboys can unite call the worst phone of all time.
@jsocontrer01
No ... We won't ... I would by this before an iPhone ... Apple is evil
Screw you apple ... I'm team Jacob :p
We need a Blade Phone to kill this one...
How much of a fan do you have to be to buy this junk?
@bathellfire
This will outsell the EVO. Just watch.
LG...EPIC FAIL!!!!
That is one ugly phone.
Where's my "...and then Buffy staked Edward. The end." phone?
This is so pathetic...
i fucking hate this vampire crap.
MY EYES THEY BURN!!!
another reason never to buy LG!!!
Why is it called "New Moon", when werewolves, from my understanding, come out when there's a 'full moon'? And on top of all that, the movie poster has a crescent moon. Hmm....
Smart marketing ... Palm might have sold some phones with a twilight themed pixie or pre.
If this has a 2.2GHz processor I will buy it! lol
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH *throws self out of a window*
