Get an unlocked iPhone
If your planning on going to the US and getting an iPhone you need to be aware it’s wont work in Ireland without getting it unlocked. The other problem is getting it unlocked.
So if you have $2,000 you can head to Hong Kong and get one, if I’m right that’s just under €200 but then again you have to pay for the flight.

Beyonce themed mobile
will the rich and famous offer their names to themed phones in the future, some already have in the past year whereby you can get maybe a sdcard with your phone with music.
Any article from textually says:
In an interesting article from The New York Times, on how cell phones are becoming as important an accessory for concert goers, there is mention by Beyonce’s manager, of the up-coming promotion of a Beyonce cell phone.
“Beyond using them to record a short souvenir, they are becoming a ticket to everything from free ringtones to V.I.P. treatment.
… The introduction of more interactive features highlights how musicians - and the marketers who surround them - are trying to establish connections that continue long after a fan leaves a concert.
Mathew Knowles, the manager (and father) of Beyoncé, said he expected to use the thousands of phone numbers collected on her current tour to pitch a variety of products, including a Beyoncé-themed phone”.
It really is all about the marketing, the big networks want the younger market and chase what they call Mobile-Youth who over time will spend more money on calls and other services they provide.

They said “practically every feature one could imagine in a mobile device.” GPS, 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and MPEG4 video capture of up to 30 fps. EISA also highlighted the device’s data access of up to 3.5 Mb/s, advanced web browser, Wi-Fi, microSD slot, and audio reproduction of multiple audio formats kind of really help them get the award…
