Versace Unique is the fashion designer’s first step into the world of touchscreen handhelds, and just like its previous phones, it’s pretty high-end.

ModeLabs, a company with significant experience in building lush mobile phones, colborated with the Italian fashion company, on the Unique, putting its mark on the original design. LG was responsible with putting together the innards, that include the 3-inch display and a 5 megapixel camera. The Versace Unique features Dolby Surround mobile technology that’s bound to make listening to music a pleasurable experience, 3G, email client and media player.

Since we’re talking about a fashion accessory rather than about a technological achievement, Versace’s first touchscreen phone scores more points in the design departament. It has a classy sapphire crystal screen, 18-karat gold plating, and hand-crafted genuine leather, with an embossed Medusa head.

You can expect to find the Versace Unique, in luxury shops, starting next month.
