At CTIA, PCD showed off the strange yet interesting looking TXT8030. The handset’s lower section features a gadget mullet, with business in front and a party in the back. On one side you get a QWERTY keyboard and on the other you have your speakers and the music controls.

The display is 2.2-inches, while the memory is expandable via microSD. It also packs a 1.3 megapixel shooter, and the whole deal is 4.5 inches long X 2.4 inches wide, X1/2 an inch thick. Nothing on pricing or availability, but we hope to see it one day soon.

This Baketan 2 Ghost Radar cell phone charm strap thing comes out of Japan. If you happen to feel a sudden rush of cold air or have just moved into the Amityville house, there’s probably a ghost nearby. But how do you know for sure?

Just push the button the on Ghost Radar. If it blinks blue, you’re safe. If it blinks red, run like hell! There are ghosts in your vicinty! Keep it attached to your cellphone so you’ll always be safe.

The MOTORAZR2 V9 Ferrari Special Edition is constructed using plastic, metal and glass with a gloss black finish that is sure to get all smudged up with fingerprints. The handset will be available as a special edition in Malaysia.

Priced at $384, the phone is pretty much the same as the normal version of the phone. The MOTORAZR2 V9 Ferrari also features special edition Ferrari screensavers, wallpapers and ringtones if you’re into that sort of thing.

It doesn’t matter if you are a homeless New Yorker or an uber rich businessperson; most of us have one gadget in common — the cell phone. There are few people today that don’t have a mobile phone, though the type of phones we use varies greatly. Many geeks carry the iPhone and your mom may have the cheap phone that comes free with her plan. The mega rich also have their own type of cell phone.

Mobile phones like the Vertu Signature Dragon have been available for the elite for a while. A new handset is now available for the well-heeled buyer called The Chairman. The device is from SCI Innovations and watchmaker Ulysse Nardin. The main design feature of the phone is a functional watch rotor. The phone is offered in solid gold and steel/gold versions as well as all steel versions.

Throat microphones have enjoyed some popularity with the military and police, but they haven’t caught on with civilians yet. The Sanwa Throat microphone might be the one that catches the average user’s attention. At least Sanwa hopes so. It doesn’t hurt that it looks like a high-tech choker. Just bedazzle it and the ladies will dig it. It isn’t threatening looking.

It puts the microphone against your throat, eliminating most of the background noise and working in conditions where the background noise is loud. No word on pricing or availability yet. Even though it looks silly, it could catch on in a big way.

Femtocells are small devices that resemble wireless routers that take cellular signals indoors and route them across the Internet allowing users to get better reception when in their home or office. Most femtocells focus on being able to improve voice call quality and fail to mention benefits provided in data speeds.

Airvana has been showing off its HubBub CDMA femtocell and is focusing on the improvements the device offers on broadband speeds and connectivity indoors rather than voice call quality. The company says that studies have shown that while 36% of voice calls with mobile phones happen inside a user’s home, 45% of data usage happens inside the home.

If you like the Motorola Aura and love yourself some fake luxury, you’ll want to check out this latest knock-off. It adds the popular and overpriced Louis Vuitton treatment to Moto’s phone. It’s called the Imobile Phone V453.

This bastard love child of branding ditches the Aura’s circular display for a square-within-a-circle display. It also has a ring of LED lights around the display. That at least is new.

The Xenium X810 is Philips latest arrival in the cell phone arena and it’s quite different from what we’re used to seeing from this brand. This model comes equipped with a touchscreen to slurp up power like a little vampire.

Some features include: a 240 x 400 pixel TFT touchscreen display with 262K colors, Navigation, Quad-band GSM connectivity with EDGE, 3.2 megapixel camera with flash, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, 45MB internal memory, microSDHC memory card slot, and up to one month of stand-by time. We don’t know when this will arrive, but it will likely debut in China.

We don’t blame you for not recognizing the name. Emgeton Enzo sounds like some kind of foreign race car driver or something, but the Emgeton Enzo is a cell phone. The 3G handset is powered by a Qualcomm/Philips chipset and can run two SIM cards simultaneously and independently of each other.

Some specs include: 2.2″ TFT display at 240 x 320 resolution, Tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity (900/1800/1900MHz), HSDPA 2100 connectivity (only for the first SIM card), Bluetooth connectivity, MP3/video player, 2 megpapixel camera, VGA camera for video calls, 50MB internal memory, microSD memory card slot

Yesterday we showed you a Dual sim phone modeled after a Dubai building. How about a triple SIM phone not modeled after a building? Yes, it’s an actual dual sim phone. Even if it does seem extreme. The device is manufactured by QiiQ EcoCarrier Inc. operating out of the RAK Free Economic Zone in UAE.

It can hold three SIM cards but activate only two at any one time, making it convenient if you have several phone numbers and need to keep your personalities separate. Some features include 900/1800/1900MHz and 900/1800MHz GSM connectivity, 2 megapixel camera and a 2.4” QVGA display.

When you run out of inspiration while designing a phone, just turn to modern architecture. That’s the story behind this odd looking handset. It was inspired by the Burj Al Arab building in Dubai. Where they build all those crazy futuristic buildings.

If you like the style of that part of the world, why not pick up the dual-SIM SBMP-N90 cell phone? Sadly, what’s under the hood is nowhere near as cutting edge as the actual buildings. It’s just a standard GSM and a 1.3 megapixel camera.

Ulysse Nardin’s upcoming Chairman will be officially unveiled at Baselworld later this month. It’s billed as a “hybrid smart phone” and before you ask, no you can’t afford it. It will feature a visible, fully-functional kinetic rotor that will assist it in getting power, just like in a mechanical wristwatch.

There are not a ton of details, but we know that it’ll be unlocked and limited to 1,846 pieces. Full details should arrive around March 26 when Baselworld kicks off. You can use that time to save up, steal, sell all of your possessions, and still fall short of it’s asking price.

Usable gaming controls on a name brand phone? No. Usable game controls on a not-so-name-brand phone. The Cool8800C handset from Solomobi looks like a typical Chinese phone, but has a few nice features that might make you consider a purchase. It supports dual-SIM cards, has an analog TV tuner and other features you’d expect in a new cellphone.

What really makes this one stand out is the flip out screen and keypad that reveals another larger screen underneath along with gaming controls. It only plays classic NES titles though and comes with 3 built-in. If you want more you can load them with a memory card.

The LG Versa may be one to look out for. It will feature a bunch of accessories aimed at fashionistas, with fashionable items from the likes of Liz Claiborne and Dooney & Burke, plus several water resistant, sport, and plain leather cases that will keep the Versa safe.

The LG Versa itself will launch in March for $199.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and a contract. If you want, you can spend another $29.99 for a compatible game pad controller for cell phone gaming.

A few days ago we introduced you to Samsung’s Blue Earth, their solar powered touchscreen phone. Well, if you like your mobile phones eco-friendly, here’s another choice.

The ZTE Coral 200 Eco Phone is from Digicel, a Jamaican Mobile Carrier. It’s an entry level candy-bar style phone with a solar panel on the back which charges the phone up when the battery gets low. There aren’t a lot of features, but it does have a color display. It should be available by June of this year.
