Mobiado carves out Classic 712 Mokume Gane luxury mobile phone

Classic 712MG Handset

The holiday season extravagance seems to have brought in a splurging trend amongst tech buffs as well. Offering yet another option, Mobiado has recently sculpted a new elegant mobile phone, the Classic 712MG. Luxuriously crafted, this handset is created from Mokume Gane bonding mixed-metal process.

The Mokume Gane is produced by putting copper, nickel silver and brass through a thorough seven step cleaning process which is the key to preventing material delimitation. The manufacturer insets large sapphire crystal plates, hand painted with 24 Karat gold lettering and symbols into the Mokume Gane body. The buttons of the handset are patterned from multiple sapphire crystal buttons which consist of 24 Karat yellow gold, 18 Karat rose gold and silver. A total of 204.5 Carats of sapphire crystal are thus integrated into the mobile phone.

One piece of sapphire crystal is used for building the handset’s battery cover which is embedded with an exclusive sliding battery cover mechanism. This unlocked Classic 712MG has been developed to work with any GSM network operator. Its specs subsume quad-band GSM and triple band WCDMA Band I, II and VIII coverage on up to five continents.

The device is fitted with a 2.2” QVGA display and a 5 megapixel camera featuring flash and video recording. Other highlights include integrated GPS, a music player that supports AMR, MID, MP3, MP4, M4A, WMA and AAC files, web browser, and email support.

However, there’s no official word on the pricing and availability details of the Classic 712 Mokume Gane deluxe mobile phone.
