The upcoming
historical Trump-Putin summit in Helsinki, Russian is being celebrated by
exclusive phone maker Caviar. It’s garish, but you have to admit that it stands
out. The “Peacemakers” is a Nokia 3310 made of titanium and featuring a
24-karat gold ornament depicting Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump looking in the
same direction. A very inspirational portrait.
The titanium of the
phone has been fully covered with gold by using a PVD (Physical vapor
deposition) technique which promises greater resistance to corrosion. And the
gold film adds a nice chrome-like overall color of the handset. It sure is
shiny. The d-pad button on the front is engraved with a decorative crown.
So, it must be
expensive right? It is, costing 162,000 rubles (US$ 2,610). This one is
obviously aimed at wealthy folks who have some disposable money to lay down on
a phone. And bad taste to boot. Caviar doesn’t say how many of the Nokia 3310
Peacemakers edition will be produced, but we know that the first two units will
be gifted to Trump and Putin naturally. That seems only fair.
