Are you satisfied with how your phone smells?

Yes we thought so, but get a whiff of this……….

In an attempt to freshen up the conversations of Asian women, Fujitsu along with Follie Follie, a women’s accessories company in China, has come to the rescue this summer with a phone that will get your tongues wagging and noses twitching.

With a shiny, glittery cover the F-022 has been designed and marketed to appeal to ladies who have perfume patter paranoia.

Yes, it has an 8.1 megapixel camera and is even water resistant, but the phone’s main feature is a removable disc that can be sprayed with your scent of choice, making your phone smell like, well you. Speaking of which, what would be the point? I mean who wants to smell exactly like their phone?

Then again, if your conversation skills stink, you might want to pick up one of the perfumed wonders.

Actually we are not exactly sure how this would work. Will perfume shopping for these handset owners now mean buying a perfume for yourself and then a different one for your phone? How will you know what perfume your phone wants? Perhaps there is potential for a new application where the phone can state its preference.

There’s also bound to be that awkward moment when people start commenting on ‘your lovely perfume’ which will leave you having to explain, ‘well actually it’s not mine, my phone chose that one this morning, gosh it has expensive taste, but what can I do?’

The upside? When your perfumed pal goes missing (say, it has fallen between the cracks in the sofa) and conveniently has no battery, you will be able to sniff it out pretty fast.  Now, if only they thought of doing this for keys.
