Ring the Alarm because I am Crazy in Love for the newest mobile phone on the Sprint network. OK, OK...enough of my attempts at being "off tha chain." Samsung has teamed up with the mega-star Beyoncé to introduce the B'phone that will be available exclusively on the Sprint network. The device, announced earlier this week at a joint press conference in New York, is a Burgandy and Gold version of unique, music-centric Samsung Upstage.
I believe that the major disappointment around this phone is the lack of preloaded content. There are a few exclusive photos, videos, and even a song recorded when Beyoncé was only 10 years old that will be available for fans to download, but where are the hits. Sure, fans will likely have every CD and be able to load them onto the phone, but the experience of having Check [Up] On It as my ringtone straight out of the box is almost irresistable.
All in all the B'phone, which will be available exclusively at Wal-Mart Stores and Sprint.com, is a sleek color upgrade to a feature-rich music device and carries the same $99 price tag as the original. Whether you are a Beyoncé super fan or just like to have limited edition products no one else carriers, this phone may be right for you and will be available in early November.
