Nokia will be introducing two more exquisite phones to its L'Amour Collection during Paris fashion week this Spring. The Nokia special edition pink and black 7373 will be paired with unique accessories by designer Giambattista Valli.
The pink design will include a pearl necklace and a feminine pouch while the black chrome cell will have a black diamond skull and a crystal strap. The designs are intended to be Valli's interpretation of the contradictory elements of an intensive romance. What do you think? Does this phone scream intensive romance?

Twilight: Vampires! Mortals! Gadgets!

In this weekend's chart-topping, blood-sucking hit Twilight, Edward and Bella share an affinity for each other - as well as technology, to my delight.

First we'll start with Bella, who is outfitted with a white Nokia 7360 (from the appropriately named L'amour collection). Bella, who we'd already seen as an iPod fan in the movie and in real life, also uses a (now) previous generation black MacBook (and weren't those Google searches about vampires in different cultures astoundingly robust? Hmmm . . . ).

To hear about Edward's tech preferences, just read more.

And then there's Edward. I was disappointed that his mind-reading abilities exempt him from being attached to a cell phone, but vindicated when I saw his room: Antique jukebox, speaker sound system and turntable, flat screen TV, and big, over-ear headphones. All the marks of a legitimate, brooding audiophile. I didn't spot a computer in his room, but he's far from a Luddite - I had another reason to swoon over him when he explained to Bella that he'd had an adrenaline rush: "You can Google it."

What did you think about the tech in Twilight (including the creepiest use of a video camera ever)?
