The Mobiado Luminoso Lucido: because functionality is for poor people
Two megapixel camera, triband GSM, 2100MHz 3G. Sound familiar? Of course it does, because it's the exact same thing luxury handset maker Mobiado has been pushing for eons now in an ever-so-slightly revised, ultra-limited, ultra-expensive new package. The Luminoso Lucido is little more than the Luminoso of old, repackaged in a curved, CNC machined stainless steel case that's really no fancier than the insane casings Mobiado turns into reality for any of its models. If the specs, four-figure cost, and recycled guts aren't enough to outrage you, though, then maybe the Lucido is for you -- but act fast, because there are only two hundred to go around, and you've got to have a few months to save up for the next special edition, now don't you?[Via Unwired View]
Luxury, meet ridiculous: the Mobiado Luminoso battery cover flash drive
If you're carrrying around a Mobiado Luminoso cell phone, it's a safe bet you might be interested in Bissol's brass-encased 4GB flash drives -- so why not jack the ritz factor by combining them in Mobiado's new battery cover for the Luminoso, which features a storage / display compartment for the included drive? That's right -- Mobiado asked itself what its customers wanted, and came up with a custom battery cover that only holds an opulent brass flash drive. Damn, we knew we weren't exactly the target market, but you'd think they'd at least try to go quadband first.
Mobiado's Luminoso for the privileged
Mobiado's been kicking around for a while now, serving up luxo-phones to the world's elite; while they aren't Vertus, they still hang onto a certain Nokia flair thanks to Series 40 guts. The newly-christened "Luminoso" is no exception, packing tri-band GSM (no 850) and UMTS 2100 atop S40 3rd Edition -- which should look pretty hot thanks to a QVGA display. Other features in its stainless steel body include Push To Talk, Bluetooth, a 2 megapixel shooter, and a microSD slot to supplement the forgettable 6MB of internal storage. No word on pricing, but we suspect this is one of those "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" deals. Shipments should start going out mid-January.[Via phoneArena]
