Quite possibly the coolest thing I've seen all year, and maybe last year as well (admittedly, I don't get around much...) this is the new "Fender Phone" from T-Mobile, as currently advertised on television, and in nearly-identical viral-marketing commercial videos on websites such as YouTube^®, all featuring legendary rock & roll / rhythm & blues guitarist Eric Clapton. I imagine we'll be seeing even more top musicians in the advertisements before long.  This is going to big, however limited the edition may be, and it is certain to become a cherished collector's item.

It has a beautiful faux wood grain sunburst finish and features the Fender^® logo on the back, along with the MyTouch^® "My" logo.

Shown here (and in the Clapton ads) it has a guitar playing app loaded.  I'm not sure if this is a real application, but I can't imagine why not.  Alas, as it comes in the standard "candy bar" mobile phone package, it hasn't got a long enough neck for a fret board, so it has buttons for chords.   I wonder how well the strings function...

There are two available options, details still vague but which seem to largely depend on how you wish to pay: in four (4) monthly payments of $45 US, or twenty (20) installments of $22.50 US.  It seems like a no-brainer to me, although I suppose many drummers might find it confusing... 

Data service costs extra, but yes, it is a true 3g instrument, allowing you to not only make and receive calls, but to text message and browse the Internet as well.
