In the world of mobile phones being a dime a dozen,
sometimes people find the need to stand out from the crowd.
In July of 2006 a Russian company that paired with a
celebrity jeweler created a mobile phone, which cost US$1.3
million. Of course, this is not your ordinary run of the
mill phone. Not by any means.
Not only is the casing outlandish in desig-and price, the
capabilities reach far beyond what our local mobile phone
dealers have to offer us.
The solid platinum phone has advanced security and operates
as your computer at home would, using a Windows CE
operating system.
In addition to the platinum casing, there is 18 carat rose
gold and 28 round cut diamonds encrusted in the navigation
key. Even the accessories are outlandish in design.
The phone comes with a platinum leather carrying case and
platinum lock. The box it comes in is made of suede and
when opened it plays music that can be tailored to the
clients taste. There is also room on both the case and the
phone itself for a company logo or name to be engraved.
So really, who is going to spend US$1.3 million on a cell
phone? Of course, this price does not even include the
calling plan.
I don’t think you would want to be walking down the street
and whip this phone out when it rings. I would be afraid of
being mugged.
People get their cell phones stolen at alarming rates every
day. Anyone who has an eye for pricey items will definitely
notice something like this pressed to the ear of some
corporate guy.
And with the distraction that being on a mobile phone
causes, it makes the owner easy prey.
