How much would you pay for "the Bentley of cellphones"? $1,000? $10,000? Try a cool million bucks. This one-of-a-kind quad-band handset by Goldvish sports a blinding 120 carats worth of VVS-1 grade diamonds, according to designer Emmanuel Gueit, and as you'd expect from a seven-figure phone, features such amenities as Bluetooth, a camera with 8x digital zoom, MP3 playback, FM radio, included 2GB memory card and an EDGE connection (though curiously no 3G option or WiFi -- it seems a million bucks isn't what it used to be). For those of you not willing to drop such an obscene amount of money on a phone that even the designer likens to a boomerang, Goldvish also offers several other diamond-encrusted 18k gold models in your choice of rose, yellow, or white, starting at a much more reasonable $25,600.

1M$ :slobber: that's just crazy, maybe bill has 1..
what's next, million dollar flash drive??

Bill probably has more common sense than that. This is something I could only see Paris Hilton buying and then loses 5 minutes after she bought it.

most stolen phone?

there only is one of them.

[r3w4]

It could be stolen over and over again, but I don't think this is Indiana Jones.

[thunderstruck!]

Phone Bill > Phone;)

you're just inviting to be shot/mugged using that in public.

Funny thing, someone will buy it.. probably see it at the grammy's next yr carried by some rapper :ROTF:

I thought Hummers and Bentleys were bad.. This is the most perfect example of conspicuous AND invidious consumption I have ever seen! Good god! I can think of a million other things to better spend a million dollars on.

[mursaat]

It's clear for who's intended when they say it has no Wifi or 3G. I think the person who buys it deserves the raping.

Talking about rappers and celeberties did anyone see that celeberty car show contest. Which rapper/celeb has the hottest car? Was embarrasingly pathedic. Hummer w/ rims Hummer w/ rims oh look another hummer w/ rims. Then somebody with taste (forgot who) pulls up in a fully race modded ferrari (I think it was a 355 challenge or something crazy like that, done up perfectly roll cage everything) then pulls more hummers and guess what, a black hummer with 27inch wheel won, how original. You know for the rappers to pathetically obsessed on their hip level they sure do pimp out some :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty cars for what their money can buy.

The world is so not fair, these celebs buy 1mil$ diamond cell phone, while kids in Africa die of starvation. I wish I had the power to balance things out, and this is becoming an ambition for me.
