And you thought it was just croissants and MC Solaar over the channel – nope, Orange France has just fed their secret Star Trek obsession with these video glasses for your mobile phone.

They’re sadly only compatible with the Samsung SGH-D600, but via a cable link will play any videos stored on the included 128MB SD card, as well as letting you check and send texts, photo messages and e-mails in almost unnecessary cinematic glory.

The available content, which you download from your PC either via Bluetooth or USB, isn’t spectacular but is certainly enough for the novelty value – there are some cartoons, Star Wars and some King Kong footage.

They’re going for €299 (£210) in France, but Orange UK have said they’re ‘looking into the possibility of stocking them’, potentially for Q2 this year. We’ll keep you updated.
