Asus have announced its new Z801 which is said to be the coolest phone. The Z801 looks glorious with its chess-board styled phone keys and Sapphire Quartz mirrored surface. It comes with 2MP digicam, 260k colour QVGA screen, MP3 player, tri-band connectivity, A2DP, and karaoke function.
Too bad! Asus Z801 Karaoke phone is available only in China. We don’t know yet when this handset will reach the US shore. I hope it will also come to the UK. Check out for more detailed photos after the break!
