Despite being better known for making extremely expensive hand-built cars, Spyker nonetheless booked a stand at the Mobile World Congress and slapped what appears to be an iPhone copy (only with a keypad) in a glass box.  Crave couldn’t get much more out of the Spyker rep than a monosyllabic confirmation that the handset was definitely part of their portfolio, so there’s no suggestion of whether this is a design exercise or a product intended for production (which I can’t see Apple’s lawyers being too impressed by).

I could almost understand if this had been coachbuilder Fisker rather than Spyker – that company is known for taking premium products (although four-wheeled rather than cellular) and giving them some exclusive re-fettling into limited edition sportscars.  A numeric keypad on the iPhone seems a bit redundant, however – a full hardware QWERTY keyboard would be a more obvious addition.
