While the VAIO 007 might have a chance, the VIP 007 by Verizon is a flop, to say the least.
So, Sony got one up on Verizon on this one, too; they created
their own 007 phone, one that's actually pretty snazzy. The C902 Cyber-shot phone by SonyEricsson has a sleek, titanium body, a 5-megapixel camera and a slide-screen. It looks much more like the kind of phone Bond would use. And it should - it's featured in the movie.
Some say the best way to make a good movie is to market the hell out of it. "Quantum of Solace" has done just that, and done it well, for the most part. Whether or not the film itself will be worth the millions poured into advertising is yet to be determined.
Bond has come a long way, and Craig's career has really taken off these last few years. With the next Bond film, "Bond 23," already in production, we're probably in for more gadgets, bombs and naked hot chicks.
One thing's for sure, Sean Connery may have been steaming up the sheets, but he sure wasn't running around with these gadgets 46 years ago.
