Remember that QWERTY keyboard-equipped Mobiado phone we’ve seen in the wild 10 days ago. It’s officially outed by the company and it’s called Grand 350PRL.
As you can see from the image above, it’s clear they’ve used a basic phone shell that is pretty much identical to the Nokia E71. Naturally, Mobiado added its own twist to the mix, making the phone’s body CNC machined from aircraft aluminum and plated with black nickel. The list of materials goes on suggesting they’ve also used sapphire crystal, ruby crystal and “lustrous mother of pearl.”
As for the specs, there’s quad-band GSM radio on board, HSDPA (3G), 2.36-inch QVGA screen, WiFi, GPS, 3.2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth and 2.5mm audio jack. Yap, the specs are the one of the Nokia E71…
Anyway, the Mobiado Grand 350PRL comes in four color versions: black, white, gold and pink; and will retail for 1,840 EUR or $2,500, plus taxes.
