It was a collection of phones that siemens released under the name Xelebri. They were primarily fashion phones and were were sold sim free in places like Debenhams.

Due to the fashion statement most of the phones were very light when it came to the features. They released a number of collections, eg spring/summer and autumn/winter just like the world of fashion.

Hope that helps/

It was a pretty good idea in theory, most people at the time were only using their phones for calling and texting, and Siemens made a good attempt at selling them as fashion phones, distancing the brand from their own and not selling them in phone shops. I would have thought people would have liked them to have something different but as far as I'm aware it completely stalled and they abandoned it - people wanted to be wowed with features such as cameras and fancy colour screens, the last I saw of the Xelibri phones were CPW selling them off bargain bin cheap.
