The Ted Baker Needle mobile phone is unlike most other fashion phones. it claims to be both fashionable and smart in the technical sense (duh?), as you'd expect from the designers at Ted Baker. Its touch-screen handset has been made in partnership with HTC. It uses the Windows Mobile operating system which means you'll have access to a wide range of familiar-looking software programs on the move and it has WiFi connectivity too.

The Ted Baker Needle offers TouchFLO technology. This clever system lets you control your contact information, your programs and your multimedia files by simply swiping your finger across the screen (did someone say iPhone?).

More specs: the Needle runs Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6 Professional OS, and is equipped with Direct Push email as well as HTML email capabilities. Other bundled software is said to include Internet Explorer, Outlook Mobile, Office Mobile, Windows Live, and Windows Media Player 10. Bluetooth, WAP, Faster data with GPRS, Camera phone, Picture messaging. Available through UK retailer only for now, but does work in The US. check out the Source for details.
