Swiss-based luxury brand TAG Heure stopped dealing exclusively in watches quite some time ago. So it should come as no surprise that their new baby is a luxury handset. However, nobody was expecting it to be an homage to all things Lamborghini.
The forthcoming TAG Heuer MERIDIIST Automobili Lamborghini luxury phone is just that. The body of the phone is housed in titanium carbide coated stainless steel, as is it’s vehicular older brother. Also ,the battery cover is printed with the famed signature that’s found on the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 V12 engine block. The phone boasts 28 hours of standby time on one charge, as well as 7 hours of talk time. It also has a 2-megapixel camera, music playback, 2GB, USB compatibility, 2 LCD screens, a web browser and a built-in modem. The unit will be available sometime in November, with a suggested cost of $7,500.
As an aside, it should be noted, the Meridiist will not go faster than other phones. Not even on the Autobahn.

TAG Heuer makes some great watches. They also make smartphones. Some of these smartphones are even adorned with animal leather. Such is the case with the company’s new Link line of smartphones. They come packed in your choice of lizard leather, alligator leather or calfskin(That’s cow leather, for the layman.)
They aren’t just about killing animals, though. These phones pack quite a wallop in the features department. First of all, they are nearly waterproof, thanks to all of that disgusting leather. Everything about this phone screams durability. Go ahead. Try dropping one from a third story building. We dare you. Odds are it will be just fine.
This phone is also equipped with a 16 million color touchscreen, 256 MB of RAM, and an 8 GB memory card. Not bad at all. Android 2.2 is the OS of choice, which makes sense. It certainly isn’t going to be Windows 7.
All of that leather is going to set you back. The Link costs around $6750, depending on what customization options you go for.
