You really don’t need the ‘luxurious” Mobiado 350 PRL

Unless you’re the owner of Manchester City—let’s face it, what are the odds he reads us?—you cannot afford this phone. It’s from Mobiado, and it’s called the 350 PRL. It’s one of those “luxury” phones, but we can only assume that’s because of the materials and construction process and not the specs.

Why’s that? Does a 3.2-megapixel camera seem like something only the rich would have access to? Or a 2.5-inch display? What about a “dedicated e-mail key”? It seems pretty standard-issue for any off-the-shelf GSM phone.

So, what makes it so “luxurious”? Probably the bits of “sapphire crystal” that’s baked in there. And apparently the screen that I derided mere moments ago is “ruby infrared.”

Again, as is the case with these “luxury” phones, this is more just to poke fun. The everyday person should be cool with a BlackBerry or iPhone or whatever.

Don’t loose sleep over these phones.

    Nicholas didn’t we already go over the difference between “loose” and “lose”? Your a journalist for God’s sake! Learn how to spell!!

      First, my sixth grade English teacher was quite old, and that was 12 years ago. What are the odds that she’s alive today, in the year 2009?

      Second, I sincerely doubt that, even if she were alive today, that she would have followed my career, such as it is, all the way to MobileCrunch. Why she would be spending her Golden Years reading tech blogs is beyond me.

      Third, and I don’t know if you did this intentionally or not, but you used the wrong word there, smarty pants. It’s “you’re” not “your.” Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, or take a hike.

      Fourth, how many explanation points do you need? We get it: you’re excited.

      Fifth, this is a blog, not an article in an academic journal; typos happen all the time. Do we try to limit them? Yes, of course. But please stop with sanctimonious, nigh-childish, “lol you typed an extra O, you are stupid,” followed by 18 exclamation points.

      I literally–and I do mean literally–have all day to go back-and-forth with you if you’d like. Otherwise, just leave it be. Thank you.

  • Lol. The comments are more interesting than the article :)

  • *grabs popcorn* This might be good. Maybe.
