Levi's intros shiny new cellphones

Levi's made its cellphone intentions pretty well known late last year, but it's just now following through with them, trotting out its new line of self-branded phones made with more than a little help from ModeLabs. Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot in the way of technical details at the moment, but Levi's is more than willing to talk up the phone's various style advantages, including its riveted steel casing and detachable chain. From the looks of it, you'll also be able to get the phone in your choice of five color schemes, including metallic silver, black, brown copper, "shiny silver," and "shiny sand" -- the latter two of which also come with "mirror" screens. More details should be trickling out as we near the phone's September launch date, which appears to be confined to Europe for the time being.
D-Wade Limited Edition Sidekick 3 for ballers
If high-fashion isn't your thing, and baby tree urban camo doesn't cut it with you, but you still want to get in on some of this Limited Edition Sidekick 3 action, then you might be interested in T-Mobile's upcoming D-Wade edition. Apparently "Flash" has been an avid Sidekick user since 2004, and was personally involved in the new design, drawing on styles from luxury cars and Miami's South Beach. Turns out the number 3 is a big thing for Dwayne as well, given that whole jersey number thing and years-in-the-NBA thing, so he's made sure to highlight the numeral in gold. The back of the limited edition has "realistic basketball texturing" for increased comfort, grip and sexay, but like always with these limited editions, there isn't really a whole lot else going on here. No word on a release date, the current info we have was leaked onto the internets in PDF, but we're guessing we'll be seeing this thing hit retail sooner rather than later. Check some more pics after the break.

More sweet chocolate from LG: the "Black Label II"
LG just unveiled the next generation of its popular "Chocolate" phone at the recent Expo Comm Wireless Korea 2006, and it seems to maintain the same features and minimalist elegance as its predecessor in a slightly thicker package (16.5-millimeters versus the original's 15.3). Also called the "Black Label II" or by its model number, KV6000, this handset is primarily targeted at the fashion-conscious crowd who also want to snap a pic or rock out to tunes once in awhile, letting them load the 512MB of memory with up to 120 MP3 tracks. Starting price for this newest bit of Chocolate is around $530, but it will probably only be seen on the streets of Seoul for the time being.
Update: You guys are the best. Reader Jay saw this post and directed to us a slew of great BLII pics at Korean site Cetizen, including one which shows that the camera is a very respectable 1.3 megapixels. Keep reading for a few more shots...
