Gresso "Skeleton" phone: You're doing it wrong

scaled01_12_2008_4
Once again we welcome into the world a bit of conspicuous consumption so ham-handed that you actually get compassionate flop sweat for these people. The Gresso Avantgarde Skeleton is a “skeleton” phone with a display back. What does that mean? There’s a hole in the back so you can see the circuitry. This idea is so crazy that I wonder how much coke the creators did just to get through the press release.

Gresso allows no compromises between luxury and functionality. This model Royal White Diamonds is destinated for those who have achieved everything and are accustomed to make great demands of life. The gadget is provided with Windows Mobile 6 Standard, 2 Gb memory, SMS/MMS/e-mail, Internet explorer, Outlook, WAP 2.0, GPRS, Bluetooth, USB-port, mini-USB, PC Synchronization, voice recorder, MP3-player, 2 MP camera.

Luckily, the phone is limited to 15 pieces and will cost $5,000, ensuring that only 15 mentally deficient rich people will be suckered into buying this thing.

Gresso Avantgarde Skeleton. The only one…
Gresso Company is proud to introduce a true breakthrough collection –
Avantgarde Skeleton. Gresso Skeleton is a great innovation in mobile
phone design, made in a limited edition of just 15 pieces.
For the new model Gresso drew inspiration from complicated Swiss Skeleton
watches, which allow to view the complete movement of the piece in all
its perfection. Similarly to that of Skeleton watches the back panel of the new model is executed of hand-polished sapphire crystal of 42K.
In creating the Avantgarde Skeleton, Gresso employed the outstanding
traditions of watchmaking and jewelry art, as well as achievements of
aero-space technologies.

The case of the phone is executed of special titanium alloy which has
been used originally in space industry only. Titanium is known as a
metal, which combines hardness and immutability with extreme
lightness. It has the virtues of being hypo-allergenic and resistant to
temperature and corrosion, but it requires a very much more complex
specialist surface finishing process.
The unique feature of Gresso
Avantgarde Skeleton is the scratch-
proof high-tech ceramic coverage.
This is the material of which the high
temperature protection on
spaceships is made. Ceramics’
solidity is second to that of diamond
only.
23 functional keys and the triangle on the front panel are executed of
aircraft steel. The sapphire glass on the back panel is decorated with the
Gresso logo covered with 10 micron gold. Roman numerals on the
keyboard are an innovation by Gresso. Another invention patented by the
company is the magnetic lock of the battery cover. The cover is executed
of stainless steel and decorated with genuine leather. Name of the
collection and individual serial number are laser-engraved on the metal
plate under the battery cover.
