Special Laser Engraving for Nokia Phones

Jayvee Fernandez — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 15:00:46 +0000

While I was in Singapore, Nikka Abes showed me a new offering for certain aluminum plated Nokia phones. For devices such as the E71, Nokia offers a high quality laser engraving promotion. I’m not exactly sure about the details on how to get one of these done — the engraving is done by a third party service contracted by Nokia which means you need to ask your nearest Nokia service center how to go about this promo. Remember, it is only available for certain types of units.

Sorry for the sketchy details but that was all I was provided with. In any case, the engraving is superb. I’ve taken some very close up shots of the back plate of my E71. They can engrave a design plus your name. I’m lucky to have the very first one in my home country.

Threadless has a small repository of designs that didn’t quite make it. These belong to the critique section and I’ve lifted them out for all to see — they didn’t get very high marks and some of them have been out since forever. Here are some of them:

Original design here.

And here’s one more, which among the three I find the best in the lot.

The donut inspired ETNA

See the hole in the middle? If fulfills two purposes: storage and charging the unit via induction. This ETNA phone design, made by Maxie Pantel inspires mobile phone users to never misplace their phones again. Having a dedicated dock / storage is practical for easy findings and not to mention aesthetic value.
