Gresso’s Avantgarde collection recently got two White Diamond members. The two new handsets aren’t designed for everyone, or at least not many of us can afford even the less expensive of the two.
White diamonds, casing made of 200-year-old African blackwood and a titanium keyboard base plate are there to say “Are you sure this phone is for you?” In addition, the more expensive model (Gresso Royal White Diamond) has all 23 keys capped to a total of 23.5 carats of white diamonds, while the “cheapo” Gresso White Diamond model sports diamonds only on the navigation keys.
The good thing about Gresso’s handsets is that they run Windows Mobile 6, meaning that unlike Vertu and Mobiado model, their functionality can be further extended with third-party apps. So in some sense, these babies sport both beauty and the brains. Other specs include tri-band GSM radio, 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth and a microSD slot.
The Gresso White Diamond costs around 9,000 EUR, while its more expensive brother, Gresso Royal White Diamond, could be yours for 33,000 EUR. Only 200 of these will be made.
