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 design…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 18carat 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.
