Gresso Black Diamonds iPhone 4

There’s always that little psychological problem with iPhones : although not at all intended for men exclusively, they’re originally men’s gadgets , serving to play up their businesslike, determined and efficacious appearance. Most of them look in the same vein: slick, deadly functional and rather austere. They may easily be regarded as a modern equivalent of a gun (complete with a holster). For an iPhone to be intrinsically ladyish is still not very common. But there are companies who try to come up with a phone that would look good only in a woman ’s hand. Gresso has done more than that with their new marvelous iPhone 4 – it is a luxurious thing, refined, elegant and subtly haunting through its reflection of a woman’s allurement. African Blackwood that is two centuries old brings up the hint of exotic, ancient passions, a mystery that dwells in each relationship, female goddesses to whom one must offer a sacrifice. 18 carat pink gold and platinum exude sheer beauty and
