[KidoBorg]

Motorola today announced the Pininfarina Limited Edition Motorola i833, designed by Pininfarina, the design company behind such iconic cars as Ferrari and Maserati. This marks the debut of the first mobile phone to come out of the alliance between Motorola and Pininfarina.

Based on the Motorola i830 handset, the Pininfarina Limited Edition Motorola i833 mobile phone has a titanium-colored finish and a hape inspired by the lines of a Ferrari car. The car-like housing of the handset also features a translucent internal lens that gives customers a peek into the “hood” of the phone, a gas tank-shaped audio jack cover and grill-like bottom connector cover.

The Pininfarina Limited Edition Motorola i833 has a 65,000-color internal display, walkie-talkie service for instant communication, voice dialing and voice recorder, built-in speakerphone, external caller ID, GPS technology for location-based services, and Java™ technology for downloading ring tones, wallpaper designs, and applications. It will be sold with a leather pouch and unique desktop holder/pass-through charger.

The Pininfarina Limited Edition Motorola i833 mobile phone is expected to be available in the fourth quarter of 2004.
