Nokia seems to be getting into the Bank Holiday spirit by coming over all James Bond.

The mobile phone company has borrowed the Aston Martin brand - something Bond would usually be seen driving around in - to create a limited edition model of its Nokia 8800 phone.

The souped-up mobile doesn't come cheap though, costing around £350 extra on top of the already steep £650 price tag.

As well as the logo added to the brushed-metal case, the Aston Martin phone also features a ring tone that sounds like the V8 engine and a screensaver showing the crystal starter button.

The phone includes all the usual features of the 8800 series, including integrated SVGA camera, 256,000 colour active TFT display, 3D graphics image engine, a digital music player and video recording and streaming.

Nokia has made 250 of the limited edition Aston Martin phones.
