 Swiss watchmaker Ulysse Nardin presents the Chairman phone It's fancy, fashionable, pretentious and extra expensive. It's both a mechanical watch and a smartphone. It takes 5 megapixel pictures and has Wi-Fi module. It's touch-enabled and it's called the Chairman phone. The Swiss watch manufacturer called Ulysse Nardin have decided to hop on the mobile phone express and created their own luxury smartphone called the Chairman. What's most surprising about it is not the exterior, but rather its specs list. The Chairman packs a 2.8-inch capacitive multi-touch screen, a 5 megapixel camera, has Wi-Fi connectivity and a fingerprint scanner used for unlocking the thing. Being the world's first hybrid-powered smartphone, featuring a regular rechargeable battery plus a watch-like kinetic rotor system. It allows passive recharging on the battery while you are on the move - just like a wrist watch. Unfortunately, there is no word how much power will this kinetic system produce. The Ulysse Nardin will offer the extraordinary Chairman in Stealth Black, Rose Gold, Rose Gold & Blue, Rose Gold & Steel and Steel & Blue. We guess, by now you're already itching to know the price - unfortunately, it's not revealed yet. But we are sure that those of you who would want to buy the Chairman won't really care about the number of zeros on the price tag. (c) GSMArena Best looking phone I've ever seen! Shudder to think what the price tag will be! |

Sure, it looks great, but if it's that expensive then you'd have to wonder why. Phones are just about disposable these days, they don't last reliably, and the technology becomes old very quickly. The exact opposite of what characterises a quality mechanical watch, now that I think about it. |

Couldnt agree more Otto. Which is why I have always wondered how companies like Vertu stay in business. Other than status symbol seeking celebrities, who pays $12,000 for a cell phone? My cell phones take ridiculous abuse  Ive dropped them, thrown them, one time I ran over my brother's phone with a lawnmower, dropped one into a sink full of water. I get mad when I have to shell out the deductible on the insurance on my phone to get a new one. I could only imagine how p'd off I would be if it were $12,000 or more. Nope, my "cheapy" $200 phones suit me just fine.

Well, here's the official site: http://www.uncells.com/ And it's cool, but for more than 5 grand? I'd rather have another watch. Have to admit it's a pretty desirable gadget... And considering I'm also an "oops, my cellphone just had an encounter with the floor again"... |
