Just another statement phone model

Dribble calls, slam dunk SMS messages and jump some ringtones. If that sounds unusual, then so does the N111 NBA phone model, which manages to fit an entire basketball court in a small handset.

We have heard before of unusual combinations between brands and mobile phone concepts, but this is one of the most impressive. Owners of such a device will have the chance to pride with a fully personalized device which will express their passion for playing basketball.

We've had the Hummer, Porsche, Prada, Mercedes handsets, those designed for extreme sports, but nothing compares to this mobile phone. The yellow and gray patterns greatly resemble the design of a basketball, which makes it greatly stand out as a personal statement.

Specifications for this handset have not been revealed by its producers. We can see that it has a camera and a large screen which will most probably bring high quality image display. Moreover, the navigation main button has the design of a basketball, without overdoing the theme and applying it at a way too large scale.

N111 might turn out as being a low-end phone which tries to stand out only through packing the basketball concept in its design as to make it more appealing. Using a famous brand, such as NBA turns out to be, it is quite popular among handset producers in order to make people better relate to the devices and see them more as accessories rather than devices capable of more or less evolved performances.

An estimated date when the N111 NBA phone model will be available has not been specified yet and neither has been the price that will come at. Of course, that will greatly depend on the performances of the handset. This is a Chinese phone model, but it is yet unknown whether N111 will be available only on this market or it will try to go global.
