Fashion fans, rejoice. Your two favorite labels have finally come together: Giorgio Armani… and Windows Mobile. Today in Milan, Armani’s empire unveiled a new, €700 (or about $1030) smartphone built by Samsung, running Microsoft’s latest 6.5 OS iteration. The device — featuring a full touchscreen and slide-out, landscape QWERTY keyboard — touts a 3.5-inch AMOLED display, a 5 megapixel camera, 8GB of internal storage, GPS chip, and microSD slot. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who spoke at the launch, says the device is “the most fashionable phone [he's] ever had a chance to talk about.” We won’t lie, there is something weirdly appealing about the bronze and black smartphone, though we don’t see ourselves shelling out that kind of dough on this particular model. Oh, not because we don’t want to, but it doesn’t go with our shoes. Check out a couple of videos from the launch after the break, including a short clip with Ballmer.
