By its very nature, the
MING series has never been the most understated lineup of phones money could buy -- but if the trick transparent cover isn't enough to turn some heads your way on your next trip to Taiwan, can we recommend this instead? It seems Moto has teamed up with Cartier in some capacity here to trick out the
A1600 with enough gold and fake (well, hopefully fake) croc skin to make all but the most unabashedly flashy buyers cringe. At $28,000 TWD (about $867), it's no
Vertu -- so it's kinda ironic that they've somehow managed to outdo all but the
most ridiculous Vertus on the tacky luxury meter, isn't it?
[Thanks, TheLostSwede]
Update: Seems the A1600 itself might simply be a Luxury Edition in the same vein as the
V8 -- Cartier comes into play with the bundled business card holder. Thanks, ZTE!

Hello? Are you sure your article you put up is displaying the correct information? There is no statement in the Translated website that says Cartier has participated in Motorola's to alter any aspect of the design cues and case colour of the A1600.
It just states that its a Luxury Edition MING A1600 similar to the RAZR2 V8 Luxury Edition, and the chinese words only state that with the purchase of the A1600, you get a Cartier-Branded Business Card Holder for Free.
So please do your translation properly so as not to confuse readers with your incorrect information. Thanks!
I thought we call it NT instead of TWD
Yup. It's NT. I have a whole bunch of it still from last trip visiting family. The currency code is TWD, mostly used in foreign currency exchange. and the common abbreviation is NT$.
Oh thats something new to me. although I lived there for 15 years
