Introducing the Beyoncé Phone!
I don’t think I’ll be getting one of these but I can see why Beyoncé fans might be clamoring to get these limited-edition cuties. I was on the Crave website and I read this article:
A burning mystery has finally been solved. It’s been seven long months since we first learned of Beyonce’s Samsung marketing deal after paparrazi caught her filming a commercial in New York. We knew that she was featuring a mobile phone but couldn’t tell which one it was.
But relief came our way this morning when the company announced Beyonce’s limited-edition handset (PDF) and released photos of said phone, which intrepid Craver Kent German immediately identified as Samsung’s UpStage SPH-M620. The burgendy and gold “B’Phone,” as it’s been christened, has many standard phone features but, most important for obvious reasons, is a dual-sided device that looks like an MP3 player on the other side.
The phone, which is under exclusive contract with Sprint, has only 70MB of internal memory but does support up to 2GB more on optional MicroSD cards. And given how prolific its namesake is, you’d probably need every bit of that space. Just one suggestion for the marketing folks: It might have been wise to come up with a name that doesn’t sound so much like “buffoon.”
Here’s a pic of her at the promotion. For more, visit Just Jared’s site!

Dear Ms. Knowles,
My name is Samantha Barreau and I live in New York, NY. I am writing to you because of your phone.
I like your phone it is really cool, but your phone has your name on it and I think it should be able to be personalized with the name of the consumer. I also think the phone should come in different colors `with all the songs that you won a Grammy for, and the songs you sang from your first movie. I’m your biggest fan so please write me back.
Thank you for taking your time to read my letter. I hope you write back so I know were you sand on this issue.
Sincerely,
Samantha Barreau
