The Mobiado Luminoso Lucido: because functionality is for poor people

by Chris Ziegler, posted Aug 21st 2008 at 4:46AM

Two megapixel camera, triband GSM, 2100MHz 3G. Sound familiar? Of course it does, because it's the exact same thing luxury handset maker Mobiado has been pushing for eons now in an ever-so-slightly revised, ultra-limited, ultra-expensive new package. The Luminoso Lucido is little more than the Luminoso of old, repackaged in a curved, CNC machined stainless steel case that's really no fancier than the insane casings Mobiado turns into reality for any of its models. If the specs, four-figure cost, and recycled guts aren't enough to outrage you, though, then maybe the Lucido is for you -- but act fast, because there are only two hundred to go around, and you've got to have a few months to save up for the next special edition, now don't you?

"Delusions of Grandure!" Maybe the CEO Peter Bonac should get his bourgoisie head out of his ass and get with the program. Here's a hoity toity quote from his webpage: "Since the company's foundation in 2004 in Vancouver, Canada, by the 28-year old entrepreneur Peter Bonac, Mobiado has achieved a legacy of design innovation. Mobiado has taken pride in being a distinctively different and innovative manufacturer, producing the finest, and most technologically advanced mobile phones."

Oooooh, I'm soooo impressed! F.U. Bonac!!! Your company does not make the Ferrari of phones! "...technologically advanced"??? Gimme a break! At least Ferrari puts out MASSIVE performance figures that I'd gladly pay full price for. Their limited run of 200 cars per model means something! Your phone? Utter useless! It's like buying a diamond encrusted Porsche with a pathetic Geo Metro engine in it. I don't care if he's a young entreprenuer, I'm willing to bet he's in the red financially. I'd love to look at his annual revenue report. He's gonna be out of business within a year if he keeps on putting out techno-crap foo-foo phones like these. Hey Bonac....In terms of aesthetic design, what do you think of the iPhone bitch! Don't you wish you designed that and made a ton of money! Broke (back) bastard! (fyi...I'm not a fan of iPhone - jacka$$1)
