Mobiado announces Stealth for rich people


If your money clip is flush with the green stuff and Vertu's offerings are a little too... shall we say, flashy, the Mobiado Stealth might just be right up your alley. The Russian firm known as much for its mobile perfume and silly accessories as it is for its luxury handsets has released details on what might be the lowest-key bespoke phone on the market, the appropriately-named "Stealth." The under-the-radar mobile is fashioned from aircraft aluminum, stainless steel, and sapphire crystal and is limited to a total run of 1,200 (though we imagine Mobiado could have its arm twisted into making a few more if the price was right) and features triband GSM / EDGE and WCDMA on the 2100MHz band; HSDPA support isn't specified, so we imagine the 3G action is limited to UMTS. Other priceless features include a QVGA display, 2 megapixel camera, microSD expansion, Bluetooth, and integrated media player -- in other words, the exact same stuff you get on a $50 on-contract piece from the carrier of your choice. The price of exclusivity these days, eh?

O2 Xda Stealth in the flesh

We're still smarting from the thought that O2's sexy little Pocket PC slider has virtually no shot of ever gracing US shores, but that doesn't stop us from torturing ourselves with an endless onslaught of fabulous visual stimuli. PhoneDaily's quick take on the Gigabyte-manufactured Xda Stealth is a bit tricky to translate (we suggest spoon-feeding paragraphs into Google Translate one at a time), but let's be honest -- pics are what we're all here for. As a reminder, the diminutive Windows Mobile device packs 802.11g and a healthy 192MB of ROM on board, which'll come in handy when you're making use of the 2-megapixel cam. If you're capable of subjecting yourself to photo after beautiful photo of a great-looking device that'll never find its way here, click through for the full spread.

More deets on O2's Xda Stealth

Perhaps we failed to adequately emphasize one key feature of the Gigabyte-sourced Xda Stealth when we outed its FCC filing yesterday: its diminutive size. At 110 x 53 x 22.5mm, it bests the HTC Wizard in all but length (where it clocks in just 2 millimeters longer), putting it nearly in dumbphone territory. Granted, the Stealth lacks a full keyboard, but everything's put into better perspective when remembering that it manages to stuff Pocket PC Phone Edition power (and specs to match) into a package on par with some Smartphones on the market. Though there's no 3G radio aboard the handset, we take solace in its 802.11g support; in fact, the only thing raining on our parade is the triband GSM support, which leaves parts of the world unhappy pretty much any way you slice it -- let this be a lesson to Gigabyte that they've got some American sales waiting in the wings as soon as they want to tack GSM 850 onto this thing.

Update: MTekk reports that the Stealth will be finding its way to Australia post haste, officially launching before the end of the month for around $940 Australian ($707 US).

FCC reveals O2's Xda Stealth

If you like your O2 Xdas with a few less keys than what the Cosmo's packing, news of the Gigabyte-designed "Stealth" might just get your heart racing. The FCC's spilled the beans on the triband GSM (sorry, Yanks) slider, revealing 802.11g, a 2.4-inch QVGA display, 192MB of flash with 64MB of RAM, and a respectable 2-megapixel shooter. Without GSM 850, a US release is out of the question, and frankly we're not quite sure what bearing FCC approval has on it dropping in the European marketplace, but we reckon it mustn't be long.

The Boy Genius Report: BlackBerry Stealth

Boy Genius has plenty more Cingy launch timetable info to share with us, dear readers, and one of the most interesting is a new BlackBerry device dubbed the "Stealth." The disappointment for us is that it's probably another SureType device, and all signs point to EDGE data, not UTMS. With what we could gather from the legend, the Stealth will include an MP3 player (huh?), removable memory, but sadly still no camera. The Stealth appears to be slated for release in the October / November timeframe.
