Though the and the more recent Chocolate may dominate headlines as the fashion phones of choice, there are other options out there for those with more cash to spare. The Elle Glamphone by Alcatel is one such device, touted as a sophisticated camera phone made just for the ladies. It even has a screen which converts to a mirror when not in use. Styled like a piece of jewelry, you can also wear it as a necklace. It's sorely lacking in features though, sporting only the basic text and multimedia messaging, 3MB of memory, and a simple VGA camera. But the Elle Glamphone seems to be more style than substance anyway. The U.S. versions come in black and red and will be sold exclusively through Alcatel. You can get one for $179.99, along with a free one-year subscription to Elle Magazine.
