You’ve probably heard about Caviar and its puzzling
devices like a Nokia 3310 with the faces of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin
carved in gold, or a Samsung Galaxy Note9 with 1 kg pure gold on its back. Now the Russian company is taking
it to another level with a complete makeover of the Nokia 6500. The phone has
an entirely new look with a hexagon body, made to resemble a Viking sword.
The Caviar Viking Ragnar Carbon, as is the whole
name of the device, has a titanium T9 keyboard. It also comes with “charismatic
carbon” frame, “majestically expensive” back from alligator leather, all
inspired from the manliness of ancient Vikings.
Specs-wise it is pretty much the same Nokia 6500 -
2.2” TFT screen with 320 x 240 resolution, 830 mAh and 2 MP camera with LED flash
and a speaker on the back. According to the official website, not every viking could afford a
sword, therefore having such a glamorous tool is also a symbol of social
status. Everyone could own some weapon, but only the chosen ones had high-quality
blades. Thus, to enjoy the power and strength of true men, Caviar wants you to
part with RUB 179,000 or US$ 2,600.
