Levis Red Tab Limited Edition

We’ve seen the original Levi’s phone back in June of last year. The jeans company obviously think they can push its somewhat interesting device a step further, hence they are launching the more expensive Red Tab Limited edition. Specs wise, the phone remains the same, boasting the same 2 megapixel camera with flash, music player, stereo Bluetooth, and a microSD slot. The difference is in the color theme (ruddy scarlett) and the etching of a flying skull on the back of the device. And the price, you ask? It’s 549 EUR (about $870)! Don’t know about you, but paying that much for a mid-range device that has Levi’s logo doesn’t make much sense in my book. Especially when a way-more-luxurious brand like Prada sells its phone for way less money. Levi’s limited the production of the Red Tab phone to 100 units, so they won’t end up losing tons of cash, in case you actually care about their business…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
