Nokia has teamed up with fashion designer Giambattista Valli to give the L’Amour 7373 handset an extra dose of je ne sais quoi…

The Nokia 7373 was gorgeous to begin with. Now that Valli has added slinky extras like his iconic pearl necklace as a strap on the powder pink handset, and a crystal strap and miniature black skull on the glossy dark blower, it's achieved haute-coutue status.

"I was intrigued by the inspiration to define the mobile phone as a fashion accessory," says the design guru. "Like a dress, shoes and jewelry, the Nokia 7373 Special Edition phones follow the theme of my collection and I immediately imagined them as silhouettes dressed in my work.

"Depending on your mood, you swap bags and transfer the contents," continues Valli. "Just swap SIM cards from one mobile phone to another to match your personal style."

The Nokia 7373 Special Edition fashion phone will be unveiled at Paris Fashion Week in powder pink and black chrome. Its dreamy bod' comes pre-loaded with behind-the-scenes video footage of Valli, as well as designer wallpapers, graphics and an exclusive ringtone.

We don't have any specific retail details for you at this stage.
All we know is that it'll be available in "select European markets" during March for around £188 before taxes and all the rest.
