Motorola teams up with Ferrari for MotoRAZR MAXX V6

Although it's passing the checkered flag quite a few laps later than the McLaren-branded handsets we've seen of late, Ferrari has utilized that long-standing partnership with Motorola to kick out a flashy limited edition MotoRAZR MAXX, dubbed the V6 Ferrari.

Although it's not like Ferrari to stop with just six cylinders, this handset sports a sleek, black finish, an unmistakable yellow Ferrari logo, two-megapixel camera, VGA webcam for video telephony, 50MB of internal memory, microSD expansion slot, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, USB 2.0 connectivity, and "OTA PC syncing" to boot.

Additionally, you'll find HSDPA, EDGE, and GPRS options, and for that extra luxurious touch, you'll hear an F1 "roar" each time you switch the device on, images of the Ferrari F430 engine on the mini external display, and a Ferrari automobile on the internal display.

So if you've been scouting the perfect mobile to accompany that newly-purchased piece of Italian engineering, you can snag the MotoRAZR MAXX V6 Ferrari in five undisclosed (but fairly easy to guess) continents starting tomorrow, and while the €490 ($633) pricetag might turn off the average joe, at least you get a swank red leather carrying case to keep this thing in tip-top shape. Click on through for a wide open shot.

Sony Ericsson K800i Hooks Up With Ferrari

Some people are fans of subdued elegance, and as such, they select cell phones that are silver and black only. Those are not the people that Sony Ericsson is targeting with the Ferrari Edition K800i. The original phone was released about a year ago, and as such, the specs aren't nearly as impressive as they were back then. But that glossy red casing, man alive, that'll certainly grab some attention.

To recap, the Sony Ericsson K800i boasts an auto-focusing 3.2-megapixel camera, tri-band GSM, high-speed UMTS, and an integrated multimedia player. You could have been a little expressive with the chocolate version of this phone, but that was nowhere near as bold as this Italianized stallion.

You've got to wonder, though, whether this is an official release from Sony Ericsson or just some el cheapo casing made by a Ferrari fanboy.
