Mobiado’s Grand 350PRL a Fancy Luxury Cell Phone – luxcellphone
In the automotive world, coachbuilding is the age-old business — recently making a resurgence among the extraordinarily wealthy, interestingly — of taking established, off-the-shelf production models and turning them into totally customized, bespoke works of art.
Commissioning a coachbuilt car is one of the most excessive displays of materialism known to modern man, but at the end of the process, at least you’ve got a functional keepsake and an heirloom that can be kept in the family for generations.
Commissioning a coachbuilt car is one of the most excessive displays of materialism known to modern man, but at the end of the process, at least you’ve got a functional keepsake and an heirloom that can be kept in the family for generations.
Cellphones, though — let’s just say they don’t have the same staying power that an exotic car has, which makes luxury manufacturer Mobadio’s new Mobiado GRAND 350PRL a tough sell. The previously-rumored phone represents the first model in the company’s new Grand Line, which introduces a new industrial design distinct from its other two lines, but let’s concentrate on what’s really going on here: it’s a dressed-up E71.
Mobiado has taken a great (and great-looking) smartphone that can be easily had for under $300 and applied enough sapphire, stainless steel, and mother-of-pearl to raise the sticker well into “if you have to ask” territory. Sure, if that’s your thing and you’ve already put a couple coachbuilt Ferraris in the garage, be our guest — but don’t come running to us when you realize that the E71 has a better keyboard anyway for a trivial fraction of the price.
Mobiado has announced the Grand 350PRL, the first in its Grand Line of luxury mobile phones. The Grand 350PRL features a full-QWERTY keyboard with an intriguing design and many advanced features.
The Mobiado 105EM is made of aircraft aluminum with a black nickel-plated exterior. The back of the device is inlayed with sapphire crystal stylized with a mother of pearl plate that is available in four colors.
The device comes unlocked, with quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz) and HSDPA data connectivity, along with WiFi support. It features a 3.2 megapixel camera and camcorder and a 2.36-inch QVGA display with 16 million colors to view the photos and video that users record. Bluetooth support includes EDR and A2DP for stereo headsets and the phone also has 110MB internal memory and a microSD card slot to let users bring their music collection with them.
Astute readers will recognize many of the specs and realize that the 350PRL, like other Mobiado Professional handsets, is based on a Nokia design. In this case, the 350PRL is based upon Nokia’s popular E71 smartphone, and it runs the Nokia S60 3rd Edition smartphone operating system.
