Signs of the recession lifting up have been a huge welcome, even in the luxury market. Well this moolah-related happening has given a reason to most brands to go real wild and creative on their theme-based luxe products. Take Mobiado for instance, this Canadian mobile phone maker has just created the the 350 Pioneer to join the space-themed luxury phone by Vertu.
We are told that 350 Pioneer has a body that’s been machined from none other than spacecraft aluminum with clear anodizing to achieve an exclusive and hard surface. Once this is done, the maker inlaid the frame with sapphire crystals as well as an infrared window made from a single piece of ruby crystal.

The Motorola Aura has been on the top of the news for a whole bagful of reasons. We heard about the grand presentation by none other than David Beckham and then there was Amosu waving it’s bling-y wand on the mobile to create some cheezy but luxe versions for the same. And this time, it is the Diamond Edition of the phone that is making heads turn. Designed with the sole motivation to outshine every other phone in the league, this one is a sight to behold with its 18 carat goldplating.
Not just that, some 34 sparkling diamons line the circular display of the phone (something like what Amosu did but we prefer the new pattern a wee bit more). The mobile phone is a real show stopper.

Technology may once have been called the greatest enemy to ecology but that is no longer how it is viewed as today. Now we have hi tech gadgets that only reinforce our belief that technology and nature go hand in hand. The abundant presence of green gadgets is proof of this new view.
The Leaf is a cool phone that is simplistic and would garner the interest of those who adhere to a lifestyle of minimalism. The flexible cell phone can be worn as a bracelet around your wrist, which makes it part-jewellery, but what makes this simple gadget so interesting is its green feature. The phone has a panel of solar cells on its back which create enough energy to keep the phone running. Just wear the breacelet phone and walk out into the sun to charge your phone.

We know the moment when the entire world stands still for the mobile lovers, and the poor dears can do nothing but watch helplessly. If you haven’t guessed already, we are referring to the mobile phone slips that makes the gorgeous talk device we love so much crash to the floor and fall apart. And we had been quite surprised that no one really thought of addressing this little problem. So much for technology!
But we can stop complaining now because the Ascent Ti Carbon Fiber phone is here. Created by none other than Vertu, this is their newest luxury mobile phone range that have been finished with optimum carbon fibers and resin. The result? Well, the phone gets a uniform surface on both flat and curved parts.

Vertu, Nokia’s deliciously luxurious division that shells out high-end mobile phones just got a new feather on its cap. The popular line Ascent Ti has got itself a new version with the Vertu Ascent Ti Damascus Steel. An ancient steel forging technique has been used to get this rather new shape with an increased strength and hardness. We especially liked the hand etching on the phone.
For the uninitiated, the same technique is used to make Samurai swords and Indian Wootz swords. So you can be assured that the Ascent Ti Damascus is a sturdy one.
