Early last month we came across photos of a gold-plated BlackBerry Passport, but details were scarce. This might be the source of these photos - Vietnamese company Mavang is doing custom gold plating of Passports. The square-screened business smartphone features a forged stainless steel plate for durability, but is also visible on the outside as a metal rim. BlackBerry Passport with 24K gold plating It's exactly that rim that is gold-plated with 24K gold in a process that takes between three and four hours, including time for disassembly. The price varies between VND 8,000,000 and 10,000,00 ($375-$470) depending on customizations required by the customer - carving a message or a business logo. Thanks to Nguyen for sending this...
