What is it about the Haier Elegance that makes me want to buy one so much? Is it the MP3 capabilities, or the built in FM radio? Maybe its the HiFi headphones or bluetooth stereo transmitter? It might be its glossy, mirrored finish or maybe its the fact that its so tiny it fits inside the palm of your hand. Seriously, this phone is tiny and I am loving it. When I first started looking at its pilled shape and tiny dimensions I have to admit the first thing I thought about were those stories of prisoners bringing phones into prisons up their… keister… but lets be honest, if you had to sneak any phone up the poo chute it might as well come in black, have a glass screen for easy cleaning and it should be tiny as hell. Check, check, and check.

Honestly though for under 200 bucks this GSM phone has been on my to-buy list for about 2 months now and everyday I find it harder and harder not to buy it. I think this is a great back up phone or lipstick phone for ladies on the run. Although its about the size of a lipstick container it doesn’t come across as TOO feminine, I wouldn’t have any problem sporting this handset as an extra phone in case I was hitting up the bars for the night.

I usually stick to the big brands when purchasing cell phones (Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, even LG) but every once in a while a phone manufacturer will produce something that I have to admire even if I am not familiar with their products. This is the case with the Haier Elegance. This Tri-Band GSM phone features an integrated MP3 player, FM tuner, and a voice recorder in a tiny capsule shaped shell. I have seen photos of how small this thing is and I have to say I am jealous, I was on the Haier website earlier but couldn’t find a way to buy it (probably a good thing – my bank account could use a break!). With a supposed $299 price tag, this unlocked phone comes in a 900/1800/1900 Mhz and 850/1900 Mhz setups and despite missing a camera its small size and shininess make it something to keep an eye on.
