Onyx (which is a relatively new UK premium and luxury handset manufacturer) has announced that it has secured a multi-territory agreement with International Management Group (IMG) to use the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio (FIGC) logo marks across a range of innovative mobile phone handsets including its latest Android and Windows Mobile Smartphones.
Onyx will provide the fans and “tifosi” of the world famous “Azzurri” Italian National Football Team with fully customised handsets at entry and mid level price-points in time for next year’s FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Additionally, a top of the line Limited Edition luxury handset will also be offered to be designed exclusively in Italy and handmade in Switzerland. The Italian National Team, also known as “La Squadra” are the current defending World Cup champions and winner of four World Cup titles. IMG, the world’s leading independent sports agency, are the authorized worldwide master consumer products licensee for the FIGC.
So there you go – if you looking for a handset that has the Italian Football team logo on it (and let’s face it, why wouldn’t you be!), then I think you are going to be very well served by the handsets that come from this announcement

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
