OK, OK, perhaps beautiful is stretching it a tad, but Gresso's Skeleton Gold Phone is definitely interesting, most notably the "polished 42k sapphire glass" see-thru back. While, essentially a twin to the Gresso Sol, it eschews wood for titanium, ceramic, 18K Gold, steel, leather, and baby seal eyelash shavings. Under the hood it 's a fairly vanilla tri-band GSM / GPRS (really, only GPRS) Windows Mobile 6 handset with 64MB of memory, 2GB of external storage, and Bluetooth. If you're in the mood to cha-ching your way into Gresso's world, you'd better act fast as this limited run only reaches 50 devices at a price of about $4400 each. A few more pics can be found right after the break.
i like the idea, but i would not buy a 4400 dollar phone
unless it was something that was a mish-mash of everything i love about every device ive ever owned.
It's a recession buster, lets some of the folks down on their luck know that others still have more money than sense
Don't worry. It's being built by former Circuit City employees.
It only looks good against lusciously gradient and artfully patterned backgrounds. Get ready to bring your wardrobe up to speed.
