Mago

This is a old phone back in 2006, but it still looks pretty cool nowdays.

MAGO is a smart phone which is created out of specialized Titanium, devoid of mass-production methods. The phone is compact, lightweight, fingerprint-resistant. MAGO’s oversized screen is perfect for a smart phone as it allows you to see everything without squinting. It was designed by the Russia based industrial designer Evgueni Maslov.

A new Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone, that may or may not ever see the light of day, is the Mago Premium Smartphone.  Developed by Tancher for Mago Mobile, the phone is made from titanium, stainless steel and magnesium, and sports an Intel xScale 624MHz CPU.  A stylized candybar format hides a host of fairly common features (by comparison to other smartphones) with the exception of a fairly large battery (1950mAh Li-Ion), a touchscreen, and 128MB RAM/ROM.  The touchscreen is of note because Microsoft does not officially support a touchscreen for a WM5 Smartphone . . . yet.

Note that the picture shown is of the prototype model, and some sites are reporting that it may never be released for public consumption.  Another site, in Russian of course, claims the phone was released mid-2006 for $3,600 USD.  With a price like that, they may as well just keep it.
