most expensive mobile

They (men and women) wear gold chains to adorn their leathery necks. They (men and women) wear earrings that sparkle like the eyes of an orgiastic llama. And they (men and women) have the undoubtedly enterprising Austrian jewelry designer Peter Aloisson to make gadgets that might remind lesser beings of trinkets from the artist formerly known as Saddam Hussein.An Apple iPhone 3G made of 18 carat gold and encrusted with diamonds is laying claim to the title of the world's most expensive phone.Designed by Austrian jeweller Peter Aloisson the customised iPhone is priced at £1.6 million The handset is surrounded by a white gold line encrusted with a total of 138 brilliant cut diamonds of the best quality. But the most prominent feature of the "Kings button" phone is its home button that features a rare 6.6 carat diamond. Mr Aloisson, has a record of blurring the lines between gadget, art and jewellery. The latest of Mr. Aloisson's creations is a $2.5 million iphona. May I quote some of the forbiddingly florid language from mr.aloissons alluring website. "Made of solid 18-carat yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold. A fabulous combination. The white gold line is encrusted with a total of 138 brilliant cut diamonds of the best quality." The latest of Mr. Aloisson's creations is a $2.5 million iphona. May I quote some of the forbiddingly florid language from mr. aloisson’s alluring web site "Made of solid 18-carat yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold. A fabulous combination. The white gold line is encrusted with a total of 138 brilliant cut diamonds of the best quality." Besides his "extravagant luxurious mobile phones" which he has been manufacturing for 8 years he also redesigns household objects. The iPhone has capitalised on the sucess of the iconic iPod to become the most sought after of a new generation of smart phones. The latest of Mr. Aloisson's creations is a $2.5 million iphona. May I quote some of the forbiddingly florid language from : "Made of solid 18-carat yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold. A fabulous combination. The white gold line is encrusted with a total of 138 brilliant cut diamonds of the best quality."However its competitors, including Microsoft's Zune, Google's G1 and Blackberry's Storm are raidly rolling out a new range of applications in a bid to close the gap. There are some people of means who are desperate for everyone to know they are people of means.But wait, this touching work of art has a unique feature. No, it does not polish your shoes while you talk on the phone. And no, it doesn't have a built-in vibrator to massage your ear. It does, however, have a "home button" that carries a rare 6.6-carat diamond. The Web site gushes that this button is "integrated in the design, as if this diamond has been made for 'taking you home.'" In order to make you understand that this phone is probably not for you, Mr. Aloisson has dubbed the device the "Apple iPhone 3G Kings Button." I accept that many things are not for me. In many ways, I am delighted that Mr. Aloisson has created a thriving business in concocting these portable tombs of excess. It gives us all hope in troubled times. I have no idea how many he has sold in the United States. Surely, there is a hedge fund manager or senior bank figure who may have purchased one in order to look more dapper in a South Dakota night club Taste is a highly subjective thing. And you might think that Mr. Aloisson was having an off-day when he designed this homage to catatonia.However, I discreetly perused some of his other cell phone creations, and I have concluded that the iPhone 3G Kings Button is truly one of his finest works. (price upon request) somehow reminds me of Jaws from the Bond movies. In fact, perhaps Mr. Aloisson's enterprise has given you a business idea. Perhaps you will now dig deep to create, say, a crystal- and gold-encrusted MacBook Air. If so, please step away from your desk and breathe deeply. I think the new, new thing is to make stuff feel cheaper than it really is, not more expensive. Papier-mache BlackBerry, anyone? The (price upon request) suggests nothing more than the drapes at my aunt's house. A Bentley, for example. When I see one floating down the street, I think to myself: "Hmm, well, the driver's dyed his hair out of a bottle, but that's a tastefully designed vehicle."However, when I look at the iPhone 3G Kings Button, I think: "Wears shoes from a crocodile, smiles like a reptile, and makes love like a cockroach. Oh, and dons Aramis cologne."Who knows why I think this? As for what Mr. Aloisson did with the (price upon request), all I can say is that if I were bling, I would be extremely concerned about defamation of character. And the (price upon request) speaks to me of a serious and contagious tropical disease.
