Sony Ericsson's taken the plunge into the world of fashion. The outcome. 'Jalou' a cross between a phone and an exotic grooming tool.

The HSPA handset boasts a Walk Mate step counter (for those fitness fanatics), screen that turns into a mirror, as well as other traditional features such as a 3.2megapixel camera, music player and Bluetooth.

Sony will also launch a limited edition 'Jalou' handset in partnership with Dolce and Gabanna. How is it different? 24-carat gold plating, exclusive packaging and accessories and special D&G content, that's how.
