The Nokia Oro, or Nokia Gold, is a new Symbian-powered smartphone that is definitely not for everyone. This is a phone for someone who doesn’t mind spending around $1,125 for a phone with an operating system that’s about to become irrelevant. The software isn’t the selling point here. The materials that make up the Nokia Oro is second to none. The phone is made up of 18-carat gold with a sapphire crystal as the home key. On the back, the Nokia Oro is made up of premium leather from Scotland. It’s being marketed to people in Europe, Eastern Europe, China and the Middle East. It’ll be released in the third quarter of 2011.

This is Denon’s first Profile 2.0 Ready (BD Live) Blu-ray DVD player and it supports the HDMI 1.3 spec. It can also upscale non-HD sources and can convert signals so that they properly fit 16:9 screens without black bars or distortion. And lets face it, if you can spend this much you definitely have a widescreen TV.

There are some products you can’t help but think are just pointless and you cannot see why anyone would possibly want to buy it. This is one of those.
