March 20, 2008- Toshiba is proud to announce their shiny new design that is rightly called the Cosmic Shiner. The Toshiba Cosmic Shiner is a FanFun 815T model that features all the options that you expect from a leader in cell phones as well as a glitzy new design that includes diamonds in the design. The Cosmic Shiner is a limited edition phone, so there will only me 1,000 available to those who are invited, not to mention those who have $4,000 lying around. This cell phone will be offered via an invitation only marketing method. It will be interesting to see how that works out.

The custom design by Kansai Yamamoto will surely attract attention and everyone will be jealous of the Prestige Gold membership service that these select users will be offered in addition to their glamorous new handset.

Interested buyers will be able to order and purchase their handsets online only via credit card payment. So obviously, you will not be seeing this new design in stores, only in the hands of a select few. The buyerswill have a bit of a wait to look forward to, with an estimated 30 day delivery time. The handset will come in a handmade, personalized lacquer box. Also, there are few hoops users will have to jump through in order to get their purchase ordered and working once they have received their invitation to buy. Apparently, they will have to buy the April issue of Seven Hills magazine in order to find the required ID code to initiate the purchase process.
