Nokia Oro - 18-carat gold phone

If you are looking for a flashy mobile phone that will make others envious, Nokia might have the solution for you, not like the Finnish phonemaker free phones like them, but we believe that this might not be just an isolated case.



This Nokia phone is called Oro and it comes with 3G and WiFi support, 3.5-inch AMOLED screen and an 8 megapixel camera that is capable of recording 720p video. Regarding operating stills Oro Nokia comes with Symbian OS, but this is not the reason why this phone is so special. What makes this product unique is its appearance. Nokia Oro has an outer coating is 18K gold, sapphire crystal and leather. As you can see, it is very expensive phone, and only a privileged few can afford.

Nokia Gold is for the Middle East and Russia, but is available in several European countries, China and the Middle East in the third quarter. Regarding the price, it is estimated that the asking price is € 800 ($ 1,126), which actually is not too expensive when compared with the likes of the iPhone, high-capacity 4, but gold is more bling.

History, Mobile Phones and an Information Revolution

Communications in South Asia: History, Mobile Phones and an Information Revolution?
Professor Robin Jeffrey

Date: Tuesday, 14 June 2011 – 5:00-6.15pm

Location: Graduate Seminar Room 2, Old Arts, University of Melbourne

In this presentation, Professor Robin Jeffrey argues that the mobile phone is the most important personal communications device since shoes, and that mass distribution of the mobile phone is even more disruptive in India than in other places. He will explore the nature of communications in India from the Mughals to the time of Indian independence in the second half of the twentieth century. He will examine the interests behind the rapid expansion of mobile telephony in India from about 2002 and attempts to identify areas in which the mobile phone has had “revolutionary” effects.

He is a Visiting Research Professor in the Institute of South Asian Studies and the Asia Research Institute at the National University of Singapore, and an Emeritus Professor of La Trobe University (where he taught in the Politics Program for 25 years) and the Australian National University (where he was the Dean of the College of Asia and the Pacific).
