The TAG Heuer Meridiist Phone is now official. The cell phone was created by ModeLabs, the made-to-fit cell phone maker company. Of course, judging by the name, the TAG Heuer Meridiist is a luxury phone designed not only for functionality, but for style as well.

Looking sleek and classy, the designer phone is made of an all-metal casing made of 316 L Steel, 1.9-inch QVGA Sapphire Crystal scratch-resistant screen, an OLED display, Bluetooth connectivity, and a 2-megapixel camera. It will be available by the end of second quarter of 2008, with a price tag of $5,400 to $6,200. Do you think it’s worth buying the luxe phone for those prices? Before I even consider buying the phone, they better show me something no one else can offer.

HP’s new iPAQ, the HP iPAQ 900 Series, just got approved by the FCC. Featuring a ton of goodies including GPS, HSDPA support, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and more, this is one venerable all-in-one. Called a Business Messenger, the HP iPAQ 900 series is bundled with a Stylus and comes with a 1940 mAh Li-polymer rechargeable battery. For some reason, it is shipped with a wired stereo handset, but hey, it’s got Bluetooth, so I’m sure you’ll end up buying spankin’ wireless ones.

The device features a mini USB interface. One of the nice things about the iPAQ is its QWERTY keyboard. It also features the familiar 5-way navigation key. Running on Windows Mobile 6, the device takes in microSD memory cards for added memory. There’s also an on-board 3-megapixel camera with flash.

There are tons of other details available on the FCC site, go check it out in your free time (which is RIGHT NOW, people!). No word on the pricing or availability yet.
