Mobiado frightens and offends with Professional 105GMT Gold handset

We've seen some ugly cellphones in our day, but we can't recall the last time we felt that touching one could cause irreversible harm to our bodies and minds. Falling squarely in the category of "wouldn't touch with a ten twenty foot poll" is Mobiado's Professional 105GMT Gold. This abomination was crafted from sapphire crystal, Ebony wood and a CNC machined frame which is doused in 24-carat gold. You'll also find a totally not awesome 1GB of inbuilt memory, a ho hum 2-megapixel camera and a 2-inch 320 x 240 resolution display. It also features multimedia playback, a quad-band GSM radio, Bluetooth, optional diamonds and a Discovery watch mechanism that was clearly added in a desperation move to make this seem "luxurious." No word on pricing, and we don't plan on digging around to find out.

I think it would be cooler if it wasn't just kinda slapped onto the bottom and needly lengthening the phone.
Also I have a hard time thinking of a legitimate use for the 2nd watch anyway, other than just setting it like 5 hours ahead of the other one so you know what time it is in some other country. Of course, that would only be a real convenience if you're too stupid to do arithmetic.

Now, if they had a dedicated chrono dial it'd be a different story =p
