Mobiado, the Canada-based manufacturer of luxury mobile phones, recently announced the release of two new handsets from its Professional line-up: Mobiado Professional 105 EM and Mobiado Professional 105 GCB.

The new handsets are both CNC machined and not too different when it comes to features. The difference can be noticed when we talk about the materials they're made of. Mobiado Professional 105 EM (or PRO105EM) combines aluminum with sapphire crystal, hardwood and 24-karat gold. The phone is available in two versions: Ebony and Cocobolo.

Mobiado Professional 105 GCB (or PRO105GCB) has everything the 105 EM model has and then some. It has 5 micron thick plates made out of 24k gold, screws plated with 24k gold and it's also hand-painted with the same kind of precious metal. Quite a lot of gold, isn't it? As a consequence, the 105 GCB looks more luxurious than the Professional 105 EM and it is also more expensive.

Both the new Mobiado phones feature quad-band GSM (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) as well as dual-band 3G / WCDMA (850 / 2100 MHz) connectivity, hence they can work on lots of networks from Europe, North and South America, Africa and Asia-Pacific.

Furthermore, both phones offer the following features: 1GB of internal memory, a 2 inch display with 16 million colors, Bluetooth, Music player with support for MP3, AAC and eAAC+ , Video player, a 2 Megapixel camera with video recording, speakerphone, microUSB and so on.

Mobiado Professional 105 EM and Mobiado Professional 105 GCB can be bought unlocked, but the Canadian company has not announced yet from where and for how much money. However, knowing the expensiveness of the materials used to build the phones, those who want to buy any of them should expect to pay more than several thousands of dollars.
