The fellows at NXP Semiconductors and Purple Labs have teamed up to put together the Purple Magic 3G cellphone. The Linux based handset will have video calling ability, incorporated MP3 player and high-speed internet browsing will have your bargain alarms hitting overdrive.

The cellphone will seamlessly switch between 2G and 3G networks depending on availability, and the creators hope to define a new niche in the market, where functionality does not come at too steep a price. The Purple Magic handset will be showcased at the Mobile World Congress later in Barcelona, Spain on February 11-14, 2008 in the NXP booth.

Price: Sub- N13,000
