Tag Heuer outs $6,700 Link Phone for those who like alligator skin with their Froyo (video)

As distant as many of us have been concerned, if we’re starting to compensate a lot for a phone — we know, like, $350 upon stipulate — it had improved come with a works. We’re articulate a qHD display, dual-core processor, 8 megapixel camera with 1080p recording, NFC, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, as well as a 4G radio, to boot. If you’re someone who buys things done by Tag Heuer, you’ve got opposite priorities. The association only introduced a Link Phone, a heavenly clunker of a handset arrayed with steel, 18K rose gold, or titanium, surfaced off with leather, alligator- as well as lizard-skin, rubber, as well as solid accents — a miscellany that’ll set we behind no reduction than €4,700 ($6,712). What’s which we say? You wish specs? The Link, declared after a Swiss outfit’s storied watch line, runs Android 2.2 — a transparent step up from a underline phone predecessor. Other ho-hum facilities embody a 3.5-inch (800 x 480) display, 5 megapixel autofocus camera, 256MB inner memory, an 8GB mental recall card, 1400 mAh battery, as well as EDGE / HSUPA connectivity. Tag Heuer additionally says it’ll be quite durable, yet it’s entrance up reduced upon specifics. Somehow, though, we do not consider it will tarry when we incidentally dump it in a gold-plated toilet.

Update: Tag Heuer competence not have a chops to set up a rarely spec’d phone, though it certain knows how to base one. As a tipster forked out, if we postponement a video during 1:18 you’ll see Superuser in a app menu — a revealing pointer of hacking if ever there was one. Freeze support after a break.
