Also from the Hanguk Kyeongje (with pictures and the television commercial, provided by your faithful, friendly neighbors here at FMS):

최근 ‘미니스커트 폰‘으로 불리는 삼성전자의 애니콜 휴대폰이 인기다.

전 세계적으로 유행하고 있는 미니스커트 패션을 휴대폰 마케팅에 접목시킨 것.오랜만에 친구들과 화려한 외출을 즐기는 전지현 앞에 갑자기 미니스커트 단속반이 출현한다.

19일 저녁 청담동 클럽 써클에서 열린 ‘삼성 애니콜 미니스커트 스타일 파티’ 행사에서 ‘Best 미니스커트 스타일 Award’가 진행, 사회를 맡은 개그맨 홍록기가 참가자의 스커트 길이를 재고 있다.

This is a smart and sassy campaign being run by Samsung, which is promoting its new phone, aptly named the “Miniskirt Phone” because of its elimination of unnecessary lines and “cut down” form factor – the slim and trim shape is accentuated by the downward slide, which reminds one of a miniskirt.

From Gizmodo:

Samsung has announced the SCH-C220 which is also dubbed as the Anycall Mini skirt phone for the Korean market. The slider will be available in three colors - white, garnet red, and sapphire blue. The super slim phone is just 10.9mm thick as it adopts the latest fashion trend ‘minimalism’. The phone has a reflective mirror type coating design and like the chocolate phone features a touch pad on the front LCD screen. The C220 has built in GPS for viewing real time traffic information, the service is limited to Korea only. Other specs include a rather mediocre 2 Megapixel camera, MP3 player, Bluetooth and an electronic dictionary.

Saucy!

And in related news, but going slightly in the other direction, Gizmodiva gives us a miniskirt with a pocket for slipping in an iPod:

It’s nothing too ground-breaking to jump about….but you can definitely jump around with this pair of biker shorts underneath the skirt that have a hidden pocket for your iPod, cell phone or more. It also has a buttonhole just under the waistband so you can thread your headphone cord up and out.

A miniskirt with a pocket?! What will they think of next?

설마! 미니스커트가 전자재품을 위한 숨어있는 호주머니 있다고? (응!) 거기에 넣고 허리벨트 밑으로 헤드폰줄이 올라가는 거고. 아주 나이스다. 똑똑하지?
