HTC teams with designer to craft wild Touches for charity

It seems like having designers gussy up your handsets and selling them to the highest bidder is a fairly successful way to turn a profit for your charity of choice, and HTC's the latest to get in on the action -- in Singapore, anyway. The company has hooked up with fashion guru Nic Wong to design four unique, one-of-a-kind Touches that are being auctioned on eBay's Singapore outpost, and while the spec sheet doesn't get any sort of a boost over the original, you definitely won't be seeing another Touch quite like yours as you travel around town. All proceeds go to the Children's Cancer Foundation -- a worthy cause, if we do say so ourselves -- and bidding ends on the 19th, so have a shot at winning your own piece of mobile art if you happen to be in the area.

That's slick I wish there where more rubberized options. Or are they rubberized? I don't think so.

The black one and the blue one are alright, the other two are kinda strong.

i can get a rats ass about charity, welll...no, i dont mean that. but before HTC goes on side projects making hip and cool looking versions of their current phones, how bout they actually put out drivers for their current phones, like my phone the kaiser, and the TOUCH. no good auctioning phones that still dont render video like they're supposed to. stupid HTC

ya they should just hire designers and make video drivers for their existing devices for charity
