Gresso’s Grand Premiere: an Avantgarde phone with a behind-the-times OS and a $50,000 price ticket

Whenever Gresso’s not crafting expensive new threads for iDevices , the corporate makes its own featurephones from the best materials mother nature has to provide. The recent Grand Premiere is the newest from the company’s Avantgarde collection and carries in this incongruous tradition. Its frame and keys are constructed from greater than five ounces of 18-carat gold, with numbers and letters laser-etched on its sapphire crystal skin. We do not know the internals of the 12mm-thin candybar, but we do know it’s running Symbian S40 and is maybe packing anemic hardware like other Gressos we have seen — you’re deciding to buy exclusivity and the shiny stuff, not benchmarking abilities, in any case. Only 30 Grand Premiere’s can be made at $50,000 pop, so all you conspicuous consumers with money to burn better move fast. Wouldn’t be the sole luddite on the yacht club without luxury handset, would you?
