No, we’re not kidding. We’ve been told Playboy Enterprises, (yeah, that Playboy) is in the process of talking to handset manufacturers to try and come up with a cell phone. Rumored companies have been Motorola, Siemens, and LG. What exactly is it going to look like? Well, they’re going for a “high gloss, upscale” phone. Bluetooth, camera, and MP3 player should all make their way into the final product. We’ve also heard it would be a GSM phone, but have heard no carriers have jumped aboard just yet to offer it.  Soon as more information hits, we’ll update you!
