Designs For The BlackBerry Bold 9780

Selfridges had brought out the exclusive limited edition BlackBerry Bold 9780 created by leather-happy designer Bill Amberg. At £1000 a pop, these handsets are part of a set of just 60, with 10 of each of the six colours available. The designs feature leather back plates and cases and have apparently “undergone an intricate moulding process to achieve the unique curved shape”.

Amberg said on the launch “”I am excited to be working with BlackBerry on this exclusive run for Selfridges that celebrates the launch of the new Bold 9780. Quality products like this are crying out for something complementary on a functional and stylistic level, which is both beautiful and unique”.

I think they look very nice indeed. There’s also a video on Youtube on the making of the cases.

A Once Popular Joint Now In Ruins

Although I have never been inside and tasted their wares, Delhi Durbar restaurant on MG Road, near the Medical Trust hospital used to be a popular eatery. Its a shame to see a once busy place in deserted ruins. Although I have never been there several of my colleagues (from Idea) and friends used to visit it a few years ago and loved their food. Tandoori chicken, reminiscent of dhabas, and kebabs were among the popular items on the menu.

No clue as to whether they just folded or if they have started up a newer outlet elsewhere. The place looks like a store wreck, like you see in holocaust movies; trust me I only captured the one pic but there’s more debris & waste.
