Mobiado, who made their name making wooden cell phones, have released a new model named the Luminoso. As the name suggests the design of the phone is based heavily on light. The Luminoso is made of aluminum which is annodized with a ceramic coating to make it scratch proof. Interestingly enough the screen is not sapphire crystal but is made scratch proof through the use of the polymer DiamondShield. The buttons on the other hand are sapphire crystal and they are illuminated to give the phone its unique look.
The phone uses the Nokia Series 40 platform and features a 2 megapixel camera and has micro SD memory card slot. The Luminoso is in essence just a recased Nokia, but Mobiado has no affiliation to Nokia. This phone may see success in the regular phone market but definitely not in the luxury phone market along side the likes of Vertu, GoldVish and Gresso. For more information visit the Mobiado website.
