Boost Mobile's Woodie by Josh Rubin
Boost Mobile, the youth market flavor of Nextel, is offering limited edition versions of the Motorola i860 handset. There's a tattoo version, which walks a fine line between good and cheesy. The most recent style is this one featuring wood-grain details on the inside and top face. It's a pretty elegant contrast of tech and retro.
Boost is definitely doing good things despite the challenging parents, Motorola and Nextel. And the i860 is really the first iDen (Nextel / Boost) handset that I like.
MobileMag has all the details and a few more pictures.

Suissa: Enlighten
Suissa recently released their newest wood encased computer called Enlighten. A bit more abstract than their previous works, Enlighten is a smaller variety with the inner workings and circuits viewable through a front pane of glass. A cut polygon placed in the middle of the unit and reflective surfaces add a bit of flair. Only 10 of these sculptural computers are available on a...

Suissa Computers
It's no secret that personal computers have taken center stage in people's increasingly digital lives. If the recent news from Apple and launches at the Consumer Electronics Tradshow (CES) are any indication, they're increasingly evolving beyond the dull, noisy, wire-entangled boxes we're used to. Even better than the gadgety and artificial look and feel of the new computer-based devices we're seeing, Howard Suissa uses...

Nokia 8800 Black
I've always loved the Nokia sliders, and was rather impressed with the stainless steel, spring loaded, uber-lux 8800 when it first came out last year. Now they've released an updated, super sexy all black version, distributed exclusively by Nokia UK. Apparently quantities are limited, but I'm not sure how much so. £799 direct from Nokia (via Shiny Shiny)...

Hands on with the T-Mobile G1
When it goes on sale tomorrow, the T-Mobile G1 will be the very first mobile device to utilize Google's open source operating system, Android. I've been using a G1 for the last couple of weeks and am really impressed—a relief because since the iPhone there really hasn't been a mobile that I've been excited about. While the G1 comes in a nice form-factor with...
