Givori Nefertiti luxury cell phones
I don’t know how many times I’ve said before that I don’t like luxury cell phones. But my attitude towards such devices is not only inoffensive, but also tolerant, because I know that everything exists for a reason. There are so many people who love them, so who am I to argue their decision to own expensive cell phones that dazzle each and every human being that dares to give them a short glance?But enough it’s enough. Look at this one! This “luxury cell phone” is unbelievably hideous, if you ask me, with all of those ornaments thrown on it at haphazard. It’s like someone decided to adorn a handset for the Christmas period and when he/she started the adventurous mission, the excitement couldn’t be stopped whatsoever. And the result is right in front of your eyes. I apologize for putting you to the torture of watching this wacky invention, but I really think that every human being has to be given all sorts of examples, in order to be able to know what is right and what is wrong. This is so wrong, guys!
Givori, a company that aims at competing with famous luxury cell phones manufacturers, has launched an unlimited edition consisting of no more than 50 devices (and it’s quite enough!). Called Givori Nefertiti, the phone is inspired by the ancient Egyptian queen that is well known all around the world for her beauty. This is an antithesis, alright. The cell phone should have been at least pretty so that people could understand the connection with the famous queen.These phones are made of 24 carat gold and numerous Swarovski crystals that contributes only to their high price. More than that, each handset from the Nefertiti collection has been handcrafted, so that no two phones look alike.
“We have a dedicated core of glamorous customers who like to have the most up-to-date style items and this extends to the look of their mobile phones. The limited edition Nefertiti phone caters to these exuberant tastes”, said Amine Aoude, Givori Brand Manager.
If you were a luxury cell phones manufacturer, which place would you choose for launching your collection? Dubai, isn’t it? Well, the Nefertiti limited edition is available in luxury stored in Dubai and you can make them yours for approximately $4500.

Latest cell phones in the luxury market
Mobiado, the Canadian luxury cell phones manufacturer (for those who don’t already know), has just announced a brand new handset that is expected to “destroy” like the BELLPERRE handsets I was writing about a couple of days ago. Part of the professional line, 105 GMT Discovery was described with pretentious words as “the expression of mechanical perfection, mastering of aesthetic details and the integrity of consistent craftsmanship”.Being the first Mechanical Watch Mobile Phone, the collection is meant to surpass time and fashion barriers and represents a fine mixture of the tradition of watch-making and ground-breaking technologies applied in the world of mobile phones. Entirely made from sapphire crystal (the front and the back of the cell phone), it incorporates a Discovery mechanism in the lower half of the case which makes it possible for the user to set two international time zones, while the electronic phone enables the local time. This means that Mobiado 105 GMT gives you the possibility to view 3 time zones at the same time.
The Swiss mechanical watch movement consists of no more, no less than 25 jeweled bearings. It “performs 28,800 vibrations per hour, has 28 hours of power reserve and is a self-winding automatic mechanism with ball-bearing”. The movements, on the other hand, are fixed to a 3D shock absorbing system (which is in the patent pending phase), for protection. Made from brass (with the help of computer numerical control machines – aka CNC), the case of the Discovery mechanism is plated with 24-Carat gold.
Everything is precious about the latest cell phones coming from Mobiado. The keypad is made of sapphire crystal and has the buttons hand painted with 24-Carat gold paint, while the sliding battery cover is made entirely from one single piece of sapphire crystal. An optional feature consists of diamond watch hour and an “M”, made of diamond also, placed somewhere between the two mechanisms. The “M” illuminated when the keypad lights up.When it comes to the technical features, they include: quadband GSM/EGSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and dual band WCDMA (850/2100 MHz), a 2-inch QVGA display with a resolution of 320x240 pixels (supports up to 16.7 million true colors), an integrated 2 megapixel digital camera (the resolution of images is 1600x1200 pixels while the resolution of video QCIF/SQCIF is 176x144 pixels), Series 40 5th edition, music player (supports AAC, eAAC+ and MP3 formats), video player (supports H.263, MPEG4 and 3GPP formats and codecs), Bluetooth 1.2, microUSB, an internal memory of 1GB.
Weighing 241.1 grams and measuring 128x47.5x10.6 millimeters, the Mobiado Discovery provides up to 3.5 hours of talk time and up to 9 days of stand-by time. As for the price and availability, there is no information yet. However, the company announced that there will be released a limited 50-pieces edition.
BELLPERRE luxury cell phones
Ask the first person you run into to tell you at least one luxury cell phones manufacturer and you’d probably be answered with one of these companies: Vertu, that needs no additional description whatsoever, GoldVish or maybe Mobiado. But what about BELLPERRE? If the name doesn’t ring a bell to you, let me tell you that we’re talking about a Netherlands-based company that designs, develops and sells high-class cell phones aimed at those who enjoy having expensive devices and amazing people around them.
Trying to satisfy the needs of an exigent public, BELLPERRE creates sophisticated handsets that are meant to increase the mobile experience of the users. A very important aspect, fundamental I might say, is that you won’t get the chance to find not even a single piece made of plastic. The materials used in the production of the mobile phones are all authentic, including leather, steel or hard wood. Not to mention the sapphire crystal, the gold or the encrusted diamonds. The sapphire crystal, for example, is found on the display, to prevent it from scratching. In order to provide these luxury mobile phones with durability and strength, the frame is made of metals like aluminum, steel or titanium.
BELLPERRE has just released three new fully customizable models, called Yellow Gold, Rose Gold and the Silver Edition, that are part of the Silver and Golden (24k) BELLPERRE collection. No matter the design you prefer, you can also choose from a variety of genuine exotic leathers (100, more precisely), such as crocodile, shark, lizard and buffalo, the one that suits the best your personality. In addition, the company has also released a collection of six adorable gemstones that are meant to adorn your BELLPERRE device in the best way they possibly can.When it comes to the features, the Tri band ones (900/1800/1900 MHz) phones are equipped with stereo Bluetooth, miniUSB, 2-inch 176x220 pixels TFT display made of unscratchable Sapphire Crystal and a camera with camcorder and video player. Compatible with Windows Mobile, the BELLPERRE mobile phones measure 100 x 44 x 15.5 millimeters and weigh 120 grams.
As far as the pricing is concerned, there is no information available, but I suppose a device like this will be expensive enough to be bought by a very exclusivist public.
