Cingular Wireless is teaming with Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung) to give fans the opportunity to place a bid on eBay for one of 10 Samsung limited edition d807 slim slider phones, specially embellished in an American Idol motif. These exclusive d807s were recently presented to the "American Idol" finalists, judges and host, Ryan Seacrest. Now consumers will have the opportunity to bid on a replica of this bejeweled phone on eBay.

Available for auction June 9 through June 16, the embellished d807s will be packaged in a special-edition collectors' box signed by Ryan Seacrest and Jon Bon Jovi. Proceeds from the auction will benefit Jon Bon Jovi's charities via Samsung's Four Seasons of Hope program, benefiting kids in need and fostering goodwill for community-based foundations and charities that are headed by some the country's best-known celebrities. 

"By teaming up with Samsung and Cingular for the eBay Auction of the exclusive d807, we'll be able to raise monies to benefit the 2nd Floor Youth Hotline, an organization that directly benefits from Philadelphia Soul's team involvement with Samsung's Four Seasons of Hope program," says team co- owner/co-CEO and rock icon Jon Bon Jovi. "From the moment we established the Philadelphia Soul franchise, the mission of our
organization was to give back to the local community in which the team plays, and we're excited to be involved in this exclusive auction."
