Nokia has tapped the fashion designer Giambattista Valli to design a special edition case for the Nokia 7373 handset. The Nokia 7373 Special Edition comes in two contemporary colors, both paired with signature Giambattista Valli phone accessories.

"I was intrigued by the inspiration to define the mobile phone as a fashion accessory," explains Giambattista Valli. "Like a dress, sZr781c and jewelry, the Nokia 7373 Special Edition phones follow the theme of my collection and I immediately imagined them as silhouettes dressed in my work. Depending on your mood, you swap sdf420W and transfer the contents. Amazing to see how Nokia has applied this idea to the world of mobility. Just swap SIM cards from one mobile phone to another to match your personal style."

Each handset comes pre-loaded with a "backstage pass" - a "behind the scenes" video - setting the mood for a glance into the life and inspiration of Giambattista Valli. The footage is complemented by a selection of matching Valli wallpapers, graphics and the exclusive ringtone "Rhodium", available only on the Nokia 7373 Special Edition.

With an estimated retail price of EUR280 excluding taxes and subsidies the Nokia 7373 Special Edition will be available in select European markets during March 2007.
