Iron Man phone!
Ok when the Matrix came out everyone wanted a Nokia 8110, not the clunky alternative version but the sleek, slide out black phone as seen in the film. I had Matrix sunglasses and yes I had a Nokia 8110 imported from Korea.
It was a great phone actually, comfortable size, light and looked fantastic.
Of course I want Tony Stark’s phone from the Iron Man film! I mean why wouldn’t I want one!?! If it is good enough for Iron Man then it’s good enough for me.
The only thing though is that the Iron Man phone isn’t the one which is featured in the movie and frankly there is no way in the world that I would take the thing out of the house! You see it is an LG Shine in the colours of Iron Man and the gold is actual 18k gold and is worth about two thousand US dollars.
Chances are I probably won’t get one considering there are very few in existence, twenty or so.
But what about the actual phone that is used in the film?
Apparently it is a slightly modified (I don’t know in what way, maybe it’s the exact same) LG VX9400 and now I want one.
I think it’s a bloody CDMA phone though so no love here!

CDMA? Talk about bad timing for Aussie fans
You could always buy it just for the memorabilia value and incase it in glass next to your genuine replica Iron Man helmet (I know you want one, don’t try to deny it).
Have you been reading the Iron Man comic lately? Marvel just finished off a story line with the Mandarin the Extremis project that blew my mind. You should get it if they release it as a Trade Paperback.
Mobile phone bling for comic geeks!
I want a deadpool phone!!
swollenpickless last blog post..PayPerPost offering $20 as an incentive for new bloggers
Nope. Don’t like it.
The red and gold one is snazzy but who in their right mind would do anything but put it in a display case at that price!!??!!
Bettinas last blog post..The bastards in charge don’t like fat chicks
Ian - I will not comment on my 1:1 scale replica of the golden armour Iron Man helmet. (It’s on lay-by)
I have just started reading them again and I actually am not a huge fan of what the Mandarin was like, rings fused in his back and all - of course I may just be turned off by the current artist who I most certainly am not a fan of.
Can’t wait for the new series which should be out this week.
Swollenpickles - I’m surprised they never brought out an ‘X’ phone - I got the X-Men belt buckle, dog tags and cuff links set.
Bettina - Just think of trying to keep the fingerprints off it!!!
I’m most disturbed to see them using the Iron Man film to sell Audis.
I bloody hate Audi drivers!
Rols last blog post..I would rather not go back to the old house…
It did seem odd that there were no other types of cars LOL (before anyone corrects me I know there were other cars!!!)
I just googled the vx9400 phone and found a cnet reviewehivh states that this phone is multi coded… It does CDMA, 3g, 800 etc
Thanks for the heads up Robbie! I couldn’t find that much information about the phone and as soon as I saw CDMA I didn’t bother looking further!
So there you go Shell-head fans in Australia maybe you too can pretend to be Tony Stark!
