This time, Nokia tried to move in a right direction, aiming this phone to the multimedia side.

Right as they said earlier this month, a very first smartphone with hybrid technologies in it will be unveiled at Baselworld. Today is the first day of the exhibition – and here it is then - Ulysse Nardin Chairman hybrid smartphone.

At that time it may have looked sketish and one could thing that it wouldn’t be a handy prototype neither it would be any good as a smartphone when they show it. But from now Ulysse Nardin’s should be considered by others as a competitor because along with functionality and style Chairman brings character of a discrete device for grown-ups.
