The Asus Lamborghini ZX1, pictured below, features Windows Mobile 6.1. ASUS is busy applying the finishing touches to a new user interface for the Asus ZX1 and other upcoming handsets. Unfortunately, as with all Windows Mobile themes and skins, it’ll simply cover up a largely cumbersome operating system.

The phone provides HSDPA; built-in GPS; a 2.8in, 240×320 TFT screen; and 256MiB of Flash memory. Not exactly mind blowing but it does say Lamborghini on the front and has the same sharp engines you’d expect to find on a Lamborghini Murcielago.

Though CeBIT doesn’t officially start until tomorrow, we managed to get a little hands-on time and immediately found a few things to moan about. Most importantly, the Asus ZX1 just doesn’t give you the thrill you’d hope for when you’ve a Lamborghini in your hands. Maybe a bright-yellow paint job would help?

Second, the phone’s main navigation tool, a circle placed inside a Lamborghini triangle, is overly awkward to use. It’s round but it doesn’t feel that way. It’s hard to explain, so just imagine a Skoda steering wheel in a Gallardo – that’s right, just plain awkward.

Still, if you’ve a lot of money to spare and, preferably, a real Lambo on the driveway, the Asus ZX1 may appeal big-time – it can be yours in May. And, if you really want to flash the cash, there will be an abundance of accessories. Below are just a few that ASUS had on show today.
