Tobi Wong's pimped-out ccPhone for CITIZEN:Citizen

By squirrelbait - October 30, 2007

in Object Culture

CITIZEN:Citizen just announced a new, limited edition version of the iPhone a la Tobi Wong. As usual, Tobi's tweaks and twists on this rockstar object are a commentary on our obsession with luxury, stuff, and a constant need for "more." What sets this limited run of 50 phones apart from the "regular" fare includes a matte-black finish, a curated selection of wallpaper, video, and music, and perhaps the juciest tidbit, CITIZEN:Citizen's personal address book in v-cards, which will be updated twice a year. Expect to pay $2000 for a ccPhone with no chance for early adopter reimbursements.

Catch Tobi at our upcoming Offsite event, Design, Wit, and the Creative Act. Last minute registration still open!

Hey, if I or I mean Apple can charge more to a million people with a simple color change, then what makes this different? I plan, ummm, Apple plans to come out with a black iPhone sometime in the future, too (which you will pay extra for - you have before). So spend your money on an official black iPhone when it comes out in a few years after you've exhuasted the regular one with time an money - it will be worth it! I promise...
