Hi-Ya! Nokia N96 Bruce Lee Edition Kicks Tail In ChinaHi-Ya! Nokia N96 Bruce Lee Edition Kicks Tail In China

I'm still laughing. Nokia and ... Bruce Lee? Yes. In Hong Kong, a special edition of the Nokia N96 has been made available for sale, complete with Bruce Lee's image on the phone itself and other swag in the box.What could be a more unlikely combination of two iconic images? I can't think of one. The Nokia N96 multimedia device recently became available around the world, including in the United States. It offers such specs as mobile TV, a 5-megapixel camera, 3G, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS. The N96 has enough street cred that it doesn't need to throw Bruce Lee's karate-chopping image into the mix for kicks (pun intended).

The backplate of the N96 has been replaced with one bearing Lee's unforgettable face, complete with dangerous glare. Also packaged with the special limited-edition N96 is a picture of Lee and -- wait for it -- a Bruce Lee action figure wearing the famous yellow-and-black tracksuit from the movie Game Of Death. The action figure is even striking the well-known Bruce Lee fighting pose.

The regular version of the N96 retails for about $840 unlocked on the Web and in Nokia retail stores. The Bruce Lee Edition is going to cost you a bit more (including your dignity). It's selling for about $1,300 on the street in Hong Kong.
