Oscar celebs get Cingular Razr, Samsung handsets for BRIT Awards

LOS ANGELES AND LONDON-The 25 top Academy Award acting and directing nominees will receive a special-edition black Motorola Razr V3 with three months of complimentary service from Cingular Wireless.

Features include a camera with digital zoom, mpeg video player, speaker phone and quad-band technology which allows the phone to work in more than 100 countries.

BlueStar Mobile has developed an official handset for the BRIT Awards, the British equivalent of the Grammys, the mobile content company said Wednesday.

The customized Samsung e330 includes a package allowing users to access ringtones, wallpaper and animated logos based on four BRIT categories. BlueStar worked with Samsung and British carrier O2 to create the handset.

“The content available on this year’s official BRIT Awards handset will allow users to celebrate the best of British music for free,” said Steve Clarke, BlueStar’s chief executive officer.
