So Mobiado is coming out with a North American version of the Mobiado Professional, their new "luxury" cellphone which is pretty much just the Nokia 6230 slapped inside a fancy aluminum casing that sports some stainless steel buttons and a screen made out of an abrasive resistant acrylic. We're actually not kidding, it literally is the Nokia 6230 inside a special casing—the specs are identical (Bluetooth, a VGA camera, video, GSM/GPRS/EDGE), and the only major difference between the two phones is that the Mobiado has two LEDs that function as a flash when taking pictures. Oh, and that they're charging $1,200 for the privilege of making your phone larger and heavier.
