Most people enjoy having a quality cell phone, but they also recognize
that cellular phones are a consumable good and will have to be replaced
within in a few years. For this reason, people often do not purchase the
most expensive cell phone when they purchase their mobile. Some,
though, must have a costly mobile phone. The world’s most expensive cell
phones were made to satisfy just that type of person.
Ulysse Nardin’s The Chairman – up to $49,500
The Chairman by Ulysse Nardin is the world’s most expensive Android smartphone,
and includes both a touch screen and a physical number pad. The Ulysse
Nardin name is most often associated with luxury watches and that fact
shows in the Chairman’s sophisticated design. The volume controls look
like watch buttons and the crown between them can actually be wound to
generate power for the device. In fact, the phone features a kinetic
rotor power system visible through the backplate.
Nokia 8800 Arte with pink diamonds
$134,000
$134,000
Designed
by Peter Aloisson, this solid 18k white gold phone features over 680
pink and white brilliant cut diamonds totaling over 21.5 carats. Some of
the phone’s features are a 3.15 MP camera with autofocus and video, a
music player, Bluetooth and voice memo.
Peter Aloisson’s iPhone Princess Plus
$176,400
$176,400
The
Princess Plus got its name from the Princess cut used on 138 of the 318
diamonds on its surface. The other 180 diamonds on the phone were
brilliant-cut. In total, the phone has 17.75 carats of diamonds set in
18k white gold around its rim. The iPhone Princess Plus is worth
$176,400 while the somewhat more pedestrian “Brilliants only” version
sold for $66,150.
Sony Ericsson Black Diamond – $300,000
The
price of this phone comes from actual state of the art technology
instead of a bunch of shiny rocks—but that doesn’t mean it lacks visual
appeal. OLED technology underneath the polycarbonate skin that covers
the phones entire face gives the 4 megapixel screen a borderless look.
The mirror finish gives the phone a sleek, futuristic look.
Vertu Signature Cobra
$310,000
$310,000
This
gaudy phone is so exclusive that only eight will ever be made. Designed
by French jeweler Boucheron, the Signature Cobra is made with two
diamonds, two emeralds and 439 rubies. For buyers who are only filthy
rich, rather than obscenely rich, twenty-six of the less flashy (read:
no rubies) Signature Python phones will be available for a mere
$115,000. Both phones will feature the real draw—they have frikkin’
snakes on them. Awesome.
Gresso Luxor Las Vegas Jackpot – $1 million
This
ultra-exclusive phone, limited to only three units, truly lives up to
its name. Not only is it extraordinarily expensive, but its
Egypt-inspired design will look right at home in the hands of a Vegas
high-roller. The phone features 45.5 carats of black diamonds decorating
the bezel and a back panel made from 200-year-old African
blackwood—the most expensive wood in the world.
As if that weren’t enough to ensure the Jackpot a place among the
world’s most expensive mobile phones, each key is cut from a
hand-polished sapphire crystal. All of these luxurious materials are set
in a 180-gram solid gold frame.
The Diamond Crypto Smartphone – $1.3 million
Created
by luxury accessory producer Peter Aloisson of Moscow-based JSC Ancort,
this luxury smartphone’s price stems from the platinum body, the cover
adorned with 50 diamonds—including eight that are rare blue diamonds.
Additionally, the Ancort logo and the navigation key are made of 18k
rose gold. Built on the Windows CE, this expensive cell also features a
high-resolution color TFT display and a 256 bit cryptographic algorithm.
This expensive mobile phone features SMS, MMS, E-mail and Internet
capability, WAP, JAVA support and even a media player.
GoldVish ‘Le Million’ Piece Unique
$1.3 million
$1.3 million
Guinness
World Records certified GoldVish SA’s ‘Le Million’ Piece Unique on
January 29th, 2008. The Geneva-based luxury communications company’s
expensive mobile phone was designed by Emmanuel Gueit as an addition to
the Illusion Collection. The phone is made of 18k white gold and set
with 20 carats of VVS1 (only microscopically flawed) diamonds. The phone
also features Bluetooth, 2 GB of storage, FM radio, a digital camera
and MP3 playback. This expensive cell phone is available only by special
order.
Peter Aloisson’s Kings Button iPhone
$2.4 million
$2.4 million
The
Kings Button iPhone is, surprisingly, a jewel-bedecked iPhone. This
time, however, Aloisson had the iPhone 3G to play with—and, apparently, a
bit of a bigger budget. One hundred and thirty-eight brilliant-cut
diamonds line the sides of the phone, but the real prize is the home
button—a rare 6.6 carat white diamond.
Goldstriker iPhone 3GS Supreme – $3.2 million
Stuart
Hughes of Goldstriker International is known for giving luxury devices
such as phones and video game consoles the “Supreme” treatment—covering
them with gold and diamonds—and the iPhone is no exception. The iPhone
3GS Supreme features a casing made from 271 grams of solid 22k gold and a
screen trimmed with fifty-three 1-carat diamonds. The home button is
covered with a single rare 7.1-carat diamond. That’s not all, though—the
iPhone 3GS Supreme comes in a chest carved from a single block of
granite and sports Kashmir gold and an interior lining made with Nubuck
top grain leather.
Stuart Hughes iPhone 4 Diamond Rose Edition – $8 million
If
you thought his iPhone 3GS Supreme was impressive, check out the latest
iPhone from Stuart Hughes–the iPhone 4 Diamond Rose Edition. Hughes has
recreated the infamous antenna band that wraps around the sides of the
latest iPhone, as well as the backplate, using rose gold. The band is
adorned with 100 carats of flawless diamonds, and the Apple logo is
formed with fifty-three more diamonds. Once again, the home button gets
the most love–it’s made of platinum and features a rare 7.4-carat pink
diamond.
The
phone comes in an imperial pink 7-kilogram chest cut from a single
block of granite and lined with nubuck top-grain leather. It also comes
with an 8-carat flawless diamond that can be used in place of the pink
one
