Theme phones with "intelligent" faceplates

Are you ready for an Avril Lavigne mobile phone? It would for example, feature a photo of the teen pop star on the faceplate, with embedded software that shows an Avril screensaver and include clips from her latest video, concert ticket information or links to her favorite Web sites.

Korean handset manufacturer Curitel and software company Wildseed are developing such a wireless phone. Code named «Onyx», it will feature an “intelligent” faceplate that will allow subscribers to personalize the look and design of the phone, as well as get theme-related ringtones, games and video clips, according to an article in MSNBC.

This is where personalizing your phone takes on new meaning.
