For all you Dior die hards out there at last some images have emerged of the new Dior phone available later this year. The phone will initally go on sale in Russia and China the reason being there is greater demand for these types of phones over there - high design with an equally high price tag.

Specifications are still a bit sketchy but features will include a touchscreen, camera and special ringtones although not quite sure what constitutes a ’special’ ringtone’ ?!

The exciting bit is the clip on mini phone that comes with the handset aptly named “My Dior” . This connects via bluetooth to the phone so the user can answer calls more easily, sounds fun if not a bit gimmicky.

It comes in pink,red and white and the price tag - a bling -ing $5000 !

According to a survey conducted by Oxygen Network, 3 out of 4 women would choose a sexy high end tv or a top of the range mobile phone over a pair of Jimmy Choos or a diamond necklace - can this really be true,?! Well apparently so but it makes me wonder, is it a case of either / or as im sure most women would like both - I know I would ! or is that just me me me

Being a girl geek and believe me I love all things gadgety and furthermore beat a lot of my male frirends on the gadget front I’m not sure if I would actually prefer an all singing all dancing ipod from my beloved instead of a nice shiny diamond necklace in a red and gold box.

It’s definitely true that women are embracing technology and the gender gap is rapidly disappearing in this area - “here here” - and whats more advertisers’ are coming round to the fact that they should not talk down to women when selling tech as we are now valid consumers, but why does an increased interest in technology mean that we like flowers and chocolates less, i’m not sure it does, tech rules but when all is said and done, diamonds are a girls best friend….

The new KF 700 from LG is slick looking and refreshingly easy to use and is all about control, there’s a touch screen a key pad dial and a jog dial so take your pick.

The 3inch touch screen is responsive, clear and a good size - although size isn’t everything girls. The menus are easy to navigate and very intuitive especially the text messaging, which for me is a biggie given how much of a text addict I am, although scrolling up and down on the longer messages was a wee bit tricky, as was adding the recipients name at the end.

I loved the return key function on each screen whenever you want to get back to where you started, always handy when you’re a bit lost and the folder choices on the main screen were really useful. Especially liked when you entered the first few digits of a phone number and the relevant contact names automatically appeared, v tidy.

A recent study carried out by UCLA and Aarhus, Denmark which surveyed over 13000 women has found that pregnant women who use their mobiles up to 3 times a day have an increased risk of having babies born with hyperactivity, emotional and behavioural problems by the time they reach school age. What’s more the odds are further increased if children actually use the phones themselves before reaching the age of 7.

Who knows how reliable this information actually is but if you are pregnant it may be wise to limit the amount of time you spend on your mobile, you never know it may be quite enjoyable being radio silent for 9 months!!
