The World’s Most Expensive Cell Phones
There is a kind of cachet about carrying an expensive cell phone and there are some real beauties out there on the cell phone market if you actually have the bucks to spend.
The fashionable company Dolce & Gabbana has become one of the most prolific producers of luxury phones. Motorola RAZR fans can choose between a Diamond Edition Dolce & Gabbana V3 that features 855 diamonds encrusting 24K gold flip shell that weights in at 3.8 carats. This comes in a platinum or a gold color.
There is a silver version that costs $750,000 and that is not shaped at all like an ordinary cell phone. The sides curve out alternately in an elegant way that makes it look more like a jewel encrusted evening bag.
This phone is clearly one of the most sought after status symbols. One of the key designers of these phone is Peter Aloisson who works for Dolce & Gabbana. He is responsible for the beautiful gold phone that Dolce & Gabbana was marketing as a limited edition a few years ago. This jeweller from Austria decided that he needed a gold phone to go with his gold sunglasses and wristwatch. He has made a great living refitting various mobile phone models with gold casings, and many of them are studded with diamonds.
This premiere designer of luxury cell phones fits gold faceplates in various gold carats to the phones in order to cover the ugly plastic casings that are usually part and parcel of buying any standard cell phone.
Do you have a million dollars to spend on a phone? If so then you might want to consider a Vertafish phone which has 120 carats of high grade diamonds. However despite the fact that it practically does cost a million dollars it has no WiFi !
Yet another pricey phone is called a Black Diamond. It costs $350 grand and comes with a 400 MHz processor, SIP technology and a 4MP camera. That is so the celebrities that can afford it can get even with the paparazzi by taking pics back at it. If you really want one of these phones you need to call and book your order way in advance because only five of these Black Diamond phones are made a year.
A little hip phone among celebrities is called the Skylink Ubaquim U300 which has 29 diamonds. This is a black phone with a graphic of a horse on it that is studded with 29 diamonds. The company originates from Russia where cell phones are a really big deal.
So what is the worst thing that can happen if you buy one of these phones? Obviously it is a disaster if you lose it unless of course you want to get insurance for it.
