Thread: Aston Martin X Mobiado

I apologize if this is a repost but I can assure you I already sent in for details on this fine piece of equipment:

Aston Martin, the British brand behind supercars associated with the 007 films, has unveiled a mobile phone concept that could challenge the Apple iPhone as the world's coolest communications handset.

The CPT002 Aston Martin Concept Phone has been produced under licence by Canadian luxury-phone maker Mobiado and features a transparent touchscreen made from solid sapphire crystal.

Platinum sides contain all the phone's electronics, battery and SIM card, allowing the see-through section to display multiple Android icons, including apps for social networking sites.

Details of the phone's capabilities are scarce, but US media report the mobile can theoretically unlock the doors to the owner's Aston Martin and has also been designed to provide in-car wireless connectivity to sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

Mobiado says the concept phone is its vision for future mobile communications and is inspired by Aston's design values that fuse "a strong heritage and traditional craftsmanship with modern technology".

The phone is not expected to go into production but instead act as a promotional tool for a new range of Aston Martin-badged Mobiado mobile phones due to go on sale in May

quite crazy, slab of glass thanks for sharing man!

Do want, I am afraid of its durability...

sapphire glass is used in bulletproof applications, on military vehicles, etc... so durability shouldn't be an issue. i'm curious about how well the backlighting would work on that kind of screen

I would buy one just for the lolz, i couldn't stay away from an iPhone though.

So I can drop this and not have to pick it up in 1000 different pieces?

Remember, the same materials used in the phone are those used for special forces. My guess would be that the phone would disintegrate instead.

Aston Martins and luxury phones are two of my favorite pointless obsessions in life.The touch screen sleek phone has a transparent body made of Sapphire and smooth edges made of platinum.Features include wireless social networking capability,and exclusive auto focus design that allows the car to access the phones accelerometer in case of a possible crash.

That is a SIC looking phone............The price would up there though.

I'd say it would be worth what ever Aston Martin and Mobiado want to charge.
