Dumbest [And Most Expensive] iPhone Yet
Recession aside, we have covered quite a few blinged iPods and iPhones in our time, many of which make Bernard Manning seem like the ambassador of good taste. This one though - possibly the most expensive one yet - takes gaudy to lows only accessible to the likes of Paris Hilton. Designed by luxury Austrian jeweller, Peter Aloisson, the 'iPhone 3G Kings Button' speaks for itself since it boasts a massive 6.6-carat diamond where the usual plastic button resides and costs a whopping £1.76 million. Yes, £1, 760,000 whole pounds. The iPhone itself is clad in 18-carat yellow, white and rose gold, while there's a ring of 138 brilliant diamonds around the outside. Aloisson is no stranger to making outrageous phones, with his £600,000 Vertu, the blinged Motorola KRZRs and, most recently, the bargain bin Motorola V3i for just £5,000. Peasants. Still, I would not be adverse to smirking a bit if I heard that the eventual owner of this monstrosity lost his King's Button diamond down the bog while evacuating all that Bolli and caviar.-Martin Lynch [All Techno Blog] iphone ipod diamond
