So, at some point things become so opulent they’re ugly.  Such is the case with the Mobiado 105GMT GOLD.  Draped in 24k gold paint and sapphire crystal (back and front), the 105GMT GOLD is a quad-band GSM/EGSM and dual-band WCDMA cell phone with a 2 megapixel camera, 1GB of internal storage, a 2-inch LCD, Bluetooth, a music player and micro USB input.  At the foot of the phone are dueling analog Swiss mechanical watches, which not only add a larger footprint but a near useless feature.  I appreciate the self winding mechanism and limited production of 50 maser pieces, but there is no doubt in mind that it’s an over priced paper weight.  Price and release date haven’t been announced.

Suddenly Nokia’s line of Vertu phones aren’t looking so bad.
