 There’s nothing like spending a week in Lebanon hanging out with friends and having fun… except commemorating it with a golden mobile phone, the Nokia Oro… A phone that’s easy to use and easy to carry, with no compromise on beauty or elegance. 18 carat gold, premium leather and a sapphire home key were surely attention-grabbers every time I held the phone to use it.
