This phone is an unlocked GSM tri-band telephone with VGA camera. It features a 65k color TFT screen, full SMS and MMS functionality, polyphonic ringtones, and GPRS/WAP 2.0. You can set your wallpaper to display one of fifteen different iconic images from merry old England. Plus you can select from Rule Britannia, God Save the Queen, or one of twenty other ringtone melodies. London Calling measures 102mm by 43mm by 21 mm, and weighs approximately 100 grams.

I think the idea of 'thematic' phones is a novel and original one, but surely from a marketing point of view it would have very,very limited appeal...?
Can't imagine too many kids being enthralled by polyphonic (or any other type) renditions of 'Land of Hope and Glory' or the like.
From the pic, it looks 'Christmas-cracker-toy' cheap, no glossy appeal/refinement or cues that it is anything other than a very short-term novelty fix.
And that keypad looks like the same as those found with el-cheapo fascias for Nokias found at most market mobile phone stands.

Quite ironic it's created by a US-based company though!
I kinda like it too, be a talking point!

Classic American tat! Have you seen some of the dreadful eagle and cowboy clocks they make and people actualy put then in their homes! Sorry American Esato'ers but some of your fellow countrymen have an odd idea of style!
