Citizens of Hong Kong got another luxury handset option to choose from. The newly unveiled Aston Martin Aspire may wear logo of the famous car maker, but it’s a low-end smartphone under the hood. Specs wise, it has a 3.2-inch HVGA screen, 800MHz single-core processor, 5-megapixel rear camera, VGA front-facing one, 3G and Wi-Fi radios, 256MB of RAM, while Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread is running the show. However, its main strength comes from the materials used – the phone is available in few versions, including black, white, silver, gold and rose gold, while the price starts at $1,290 and ends at $1,590 (for the last two versions which cases are dipped in 24K gold).
Of course, this kind of phone comes in a special packaging in which you also get additional goodies like a leather pouch, Aston Martin-branded headphones and two 1,500mAh batteries.
At the moment, the Aston Martin Aspire is available in Hong Kong and we’ve no idea whether it will ever reach the Western hemisphere. Not that we necessarily want it, though…

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.
