LG Electronics today unveiled the LG Iron Man phone, a limited-edition, 18-karat gold slider modeled after the LG Shine. As part of the promotion campaign with Paramount Pictures to promote the upcoming Marvel Studios film Iron Man, the Iron Man phone will not be sold in stores.
Prior to the film's May 2, 2008 release date, LG will unveil advertising, as well as retail, online and consumer electronics industry initiatives to showcase the company's devices.
"In today's fast-paced world, cell phones often perform heroic feats when it comes to connecting consumers with friends and family, solving business problems and staying current with up-to-the-minute news and entertainment," said Rabbani. "'Iron Man' lead character, Tony Stark, embodies what LG is all about by pushing technology boundaries and insisting on having the most innovative and advanced gadgets, including his mobile phone."
One element of the upcoming LG marketing plan will include launching http://www.insidethesuit.com which will offer consumers exclusive content from the film, and behind-the-scenes footage of the making of Iron Man's suit. Consumers who visit the site beginning April 15, 2008 will also have the chance to win a LG Iron Man phone worth about $2000.

That is just plain hideous. I can only see collectors or serious fans wanting that thing. I suppose that next we'll see an 'Abomination' phone based off of the upcoming Hulk movie, covered in green silicone and scarred up with weird molded ridges.

In this article LG stated "'Iron Man' lead character, Tony Stark, embodies what LG is all about by pushing technology boundaries and insisting on having the most innovative and advanced gadgets, including his mobile phone."
***comic geek alert*** (I'll keep it short) In the last large marvel event "Civil War" Tony Starks sold out all his friends and the trust of other superheros so that he could have the most innovative and advanced gadgets. Is that what LG is all about? selling you out. Shame

I don't think anyone at LG actually reads the comics, no matter how good, they are just taking the movie stance and trying to sell phones. However it is still plainly obvious that Tony Stark is a smart-ass, arrogant, and a serious womanizer. Perhaps that is the kind of spokesman they are looking for?
BRING ON THE GREEN SILICONE!

Umm. just so you know you don't actually buy the phone. They are making 20 of them and you can only win it at inside the suit . com . I would have put a link but this is my first post, so just remove the spaces
Nobody will be able to buy it unless somebody who wins it puts it up on ebay.
Then if you do win it, you have to pay taxes which comes to about $105, and thats only at my 7% RI rate.
But yea , technically it is worth $2000 because it is made of gold, but you can only win it not buy it
