The [sleek black design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-s25-edge) of this Mobiado just oozes luxury. It's the Mobiado Stealth 3G, taking its name from the surreptitious design of military aircraft.

Mobiado used aluminum and [sapphire crystals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rm-7501) for a stylish look and feel, then added the lettering and logo by engraving by machine for a strong appearance, crisp lines and clean aesthetics. Buttons are sapphire and stainless with a [crystal screen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenith-defy-zero-g). There is a limited edition of 1,200.

**Implications** - The Mobiado Stealth will work with any GSM network operator, since it comes unlocked. The phone has a two megapixel camera and video camera and supports microSD cards up to 2GB. You can also store music on the phone and use it as an MP3 or MP4 player.
