Gresso unveils Pure Black luxury phone
If design and aesthetics are all that matters to you, you might be interested in checking out Gresso’s latest offering, which is the Pure Black and will be joining the company’s Grand Monaco lineup. For those unfamiliar, Gresso is a company that specializes in creating luxury devices, much like Vertu.
However unlike the original Grand Monaco, the Pure Black will sport an all black design as opposed to a mixture of both silver and black. It will sport round steel buttons on the keypad and will be made from high resistant and light titanium alloy that has been coated with high-tech ceramics layers. Its screen is protected with a 42 carat sapphire glass polished by hand with a diamond tool, and will be available in either crocodile leather or Italian carbon leather.
Like we said earlier, the Gresso Pure Black is pretty much all about the looks. This means that the only hardware that should impress you here is the materials that it has been made from, as opposed to the circuitry running under its hood. The phone will run on Symbian S40, so don’t expect much when it comes to smartphone functionality. So far only 100 units have been made, and if you’d like to pick one up for yourself, expect to fork out a whopping $2,700 for it.
After the Nokia 808 Pureview in all its MegaPixel goodness got an award last week, the company has just announced that it will be hitting stores sometime this May. Seeing as we’re already in the second day of the month, we’ll just have to wait until a more precise release date comes up for the Symbian-Belle powered device with its massive 41MP camera. From the announcement, the first countries that will receive the device will be Russia and India with additional countries coming in a later announcement.

As far as everyone could have seen Nokia and Microsoft have focused their partnership into ensuring that Nokia’s Windows Phone range of products are the best that they could possibly be. Apparently things have been happening in the works and both companies have remembered the Symbian Belle range of products which only came out recently. Microsoft has released its Office applications to Nokia’s previous operating system of choice. The Microsoft Office apps that were included for the mobile devices were Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

The Nokia PureView that was shown off by Nokia in MWC this year is much like any other smartphone nowadays except for two things. The first is that it is running on Nokia’s Symbian OS. The second is what users will want this device for; a whopping 41MP camera. Besides that, the phone will have a 1.3 GHz single-core chip, a 4-inch display with a 360×640 (nHD) resolution, 512MB of RAM, 16GB of storage space which can be expanded with a microSD and a Pentaband modem.
