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.

What You think guys about this hybrid-powered phone?

I don't usually like stuff like this but this watch-esque device has a certain je-ne sais-quoi that somehow appeals

The styling would have to be an acquired taste but overall I like the design. Keypad looks nice and comfortable and it has OK specs.

there will only be 1846 of these so I guess it probably will be pricey

Yeah I gotta say I quite like it too, despite the fact I don't usually go for anything with shiny gold on it. It looks rather stylish and it has specs to match!

YEUCK!

That's horrid, it's confused, Am I a watch or am I a phone? hmmmm...

reminds me of the JCB phone...



Vertu are the only people that make nice, expensive phones, Goldvish and Gresso are just too bling.

Mobiado aren't bad but they are just rebadged 6230s...

That's just my 2p

Usally these phones are for people with more money than sense but this one looks really good and its got a decent feature set.

I like the detailing of the buttons on the side and around the camera lens but overall, I have to agree with Fatreg.
