Samsung & Armani Present: Sexy, Stylish, Sleek ... and Safe?

Are you the type of person who cares more about brand name than functionality? Me too. Kidding! Well, now that Armani is joining the ranks of other uber-designers releasing cell phones (Prada, for example) there is yet another sophisticated smartphone to pine after.

Only this one is special! This touch screen phone features a special rape alarm. It's too bad we have to even think about things like that, but it's great to have the option out there. Here's how it works: you, the user, program 5 of your closests contacts in a special emergency contact list. When in need of assistance, simply press the volume key four times and the phone will automatically send alert texts to those 5 special contacts, who can in turn, try to contact you, or if need be, the police. It also activates a built-in GPS tracking system that locates your exact whereabouts.

OK, it's a smart idea, but if that were my phone, I have a feeling I'd be accidentally pressing the volume key quite a bit. Say you're in a crowded place, for example, or you have too much crap in your purse. No harm really, except that those 5 people will get an unnecessary text. Better safe than sorry!

P.S. Here are the specs, in case you're interested: Tri-band 900/1800/1900 GSM, 3 megapixel camera, 2.6-inch 262K color QVGA touchscreen LCD, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support, microSD expansion, full Internet browser, and support for H.263, AAC/MP3/WMA audio and MPEG-4 video.
