Motorola's Sharapova phone to be on sale, first in Korea
Motorola Korea announced Tuesday the orange-colored handset that Russian tennis star, 17 year-ol Maria Sharapova used to call her mother in her home town after her winning - no not Wimbeldon - but the Hansol Korea Open championship- , reports Telecom Korea.
"The so-called Sharapova phone (model name : ms330) will be released in the Korean market mid-October, earlier than in any other country."
In a related story, last July, Maria Sharapova beat Serena Williams at Wimbeldon. After the win, Sharapova's father passed his cell phone down to center court so she could call her Mom in Florida. Unfortunately, like too many other mobile phone calls, the phone didn't work.
It keeps switching off, I don't know what's wrong with it," she said. "I was trying to phone my mum." "Come on technology," said a frustrated Sharapova."
