Sony Ericsson Jalou announced

Sony Ericsson today announced two versions of the new model Jalou. A generic Jalou, and one model branded with Dolce Gabbana fashion brand.

The Sony Ericsson press release highlights the small size (only 73 mm high) by promoting the Jalou as "smaller than your favourite lipstick", so this model is clearly aimed at a female audience. The co-branding thing is not new. We have seen it before with LG Prada, Sony Ericsson Z770 Ducati Edition and Sharps Ferrari phone.

Jalou Dolce Gabbana is a 24 carat gold plating but the technical spesification for the two models are similar, but buyers of the DG edition will get some extra accessories. Jalou by Dolce&Gabbana comes complete with exclusive packaging and accessories – three silky rose satin bags to either protect the phone, store the charger, or to even carry jewellery. But that's not all – it also comes with a special Dolce & Gabbana branded headset with gold accents to keep you connected in style. That is not all. You will get access to a special DG blog that sends the latest trends, news and gossip directly to the mobile phone via an RSS feed!
