1.Goldvish “Le million” = 1 milion USD
The Goldvish “Le million” is officially the most expensive mobile phone in the world and we know because the Guinness Books of Records says so, the Goldvish Le million $1,000,000 (£540,540) mobile phone has 120 carats worth of VVS-1 grade diamonds. GoldVish also make the ‘Illusion’, which comes in 15 different incarnations, encrusted with diamonds or not depending on your preference, but always made with at least 140 grams of solid gold. Would you buy one?
2. Vertu Signature Cobra = 310.000 USD
I am honored to introduce our next cellphone; Vertu’s Signature Cobra. I don’t know much about
the phone features but I know it’s expensive. What is the Cobra? The Signature Cobra is a
luxurious cellphone encrusted with precious rocks by French jeweler Boucheron and it cost
$310,000 USD.
Why? The Signature Cobra is a ritzy gadget made from one pear-cut diamond, one round white
diamond, two emerald eyes and 439 rubies. Does it feature speaker phone, streaming video,
or a nice to-do list? I’ve come to this conclusion.Do features matter when an overprice
cellphone is worth more than the average home?
For the savvy, intelligent, and bargain shopper does this make an impression?
It’s a Paris Hilton phone marketed to those who love the bling lifestyle.
The Signature Cobra, as one might observe, is merely a regular phone laced with expensive rocks.
It’s the equivalent of crystallizing an apple or some other fruit. A once ordinary object is
now engulfed with shinny specs of light which glitter from every angle.If you can’t afford
the $310,000 model a cheaper version is available for an affordable $115,000 USD.
Thanks to the discount, .5% of the world’s population can now afford it.
Vertu, the luxury phone company that creates and markets the Signature Cobra, is now taking
orders which are currently limited to 8, but only 26 Signature Cobras will be made for
the lucky few who make that decision.
3. Sony Ericsson Black Diamond = 300.000 USD
Black Diamond mobile phone for Sony Ericsson, encases the device under a layer of polycarbonate with mirror-finish cladding. The OLED technology makes for vivid illumination under the polycarbonate skin and makes a borderless screen effect possible. The thin profile, clean lines, slight offset, and ultra-glossy finish are all qualities sure to attract both urban tech-junkies and device fashionistas alike
4.Vertu Diamond = 88.000 USD
This Vertu Diamond Cellphone comes in four 18-carat white or yellow gold models, and one made of platinum. They are embedded with Pave diamonds and are only made to order.
5. Motorola V220 Special Edition = 51.800 USD
The Motorola V220 Special Edition has all the features as the normal version but instead this one is special, the way this goes is Austrian designer Peter Aloisson must have got bored and decided hey what the heck let me make an expensive phone, and this is where the Motorola V220 Special Edition was born.
The Motorola V220 Special Edition costs around £28,000 ($51,800) which is basically for football stars more than anything, this mobile phone is encrusted with 1,200 diamonds plus the keypad is inlaid with 18 carat gold.

6.Nokia 8800 Gold Edition Phone = 2.700 USD
Gold is the new Black when it comes to mobile phones. One phone bitten by the Gold Bug is the exclusive Nokia 8800 which will now be available in 24K gold. By owning one of these babies you’ll no doubt be the talk of the town.
The new Gold edition has been in the pipeline for quite some time now. However the features found on the Gold Edition are the standard 8800 features (bummer). It includes a 0.5 Mega pixel SVGA camera and a 2, 62,000 colors, TFT (208 x 208) display. Connectivity options include EDGE, Bluetooth, Infrared, Java, MMS, SMS, USB, WAP and it has 64 MB of internal memory. Some other features found on the phone which now may now look standard include, 64 polyphonic, FM Radio, Mp3 Player, Video Recording and 180 mins talktime. The Gold Edition includes an additional special edition box and charging dock though with a crazy $2,700 price tag that doesn’t come much of a surprise!
7. Mobiado Professional EM (wood) = 1.900 USD
Over the past few months I have been hearing that the next big thing in mobile devices was going to be, of all things, wood. Most of what I heard was referring to wood detailed headsets, but it seems that Mobiado wants to take it a bit further. Their new Mobiado Profession EM takes the basic design of the original Professional model, stuffs a 1.3 megapixel camera inside, and wraps it in exotic woods.
The Professional EM is going to be available in Black with either Cocobolo or Honduran Rosewood accents. The wood gives an already distinctive looking handset even more of an eye-catching appearance. The wood also seems to have helped Mobiado shave some weight off of the device, since the EM comes in at 14g (.5oz) lighter than the original Mobiado Professional
8. Samsung/Bang & Olufsen Serene = 1.250 USD
One could say that the Samsung/Bang & Olufsen collaboration has produced perhaps the ultimate fashion handset. Its smooth lines and circular keypad make it look very little like a modern mobible phone. Samsung says that they intend for the Serene to be used upside-down when compared to other handsets - with the keypad at the top, rather than the bottom - but have made it so the screen can flip if you prefer the more traditional way of using it. The round center of the keypad acts as a dial, which is used for navigating through the menus. The top and bottom of the dial can be pressed as buttons to take various actions. The system seemed to work rather well overall. Another interesting aspect of the Serene was the hinge. The hinge is spring loaded and dampened so that it opens slowly, as if it didn't wish to disturb its user. It looks quite nice. No matter how you look at it, the Serene is something different.
9. Lamborghini 8800 Sirocco Nokia
Looks like the Nokia 8800 keeps coming out with new special editions. First it was The Gold Edition Nokia 8800 Phone, with a 24 karat skin as well as special charging station. I’m sure Goldfinger would have loved to get his hands on this before he pulled off his grand scheme of blowing up an atomic bomb inside Fort Knox.
Speaking of Goldfinger, the company has recently released a phone based on the type of car of that film, the Aston Martin. The Nokia 8800 Aston Martin Limited Edition, which was just the 8800 with the Aston Martin logo. I suppose James Bond would have bought this up if Q hadn’t given him a phone with a laser.
No wonder that Nokia 8800 Phone Wins Red Dot Design Award. After all, it has a sweet stainless steel and mineral glass design. The Nokia 8800 now has another special edition to brag about with the Nokia 8800 Lamborghini Sirocco phone. Like the previously mentioned Aston Martin, this guy has the award-winning style with the famous Lamborghini logo engraved. It also looks like ball bearings from the auto company to make the slider phone possible. (I wonder if it makes it slide better than the other Nokia 8800s out there?)
Let us not forget its phone uses as well. It has tri-band GSM coverage for up to five continents, as well as 128 MB of internal memory. Like its color TFT display, protected by scratch-resistant sapphire coated glass. It also has a 2 megapixel camera, as well as an integrated digital MP3 player. This is in addition to Bluetooth, xHTML browsing, Instant Messaging, video streaming services, as well as data transfer over EDGE, GPRS, or TCP/IP.
This Lamborghini 500-piece limited edition will also feature Lamborghini graphics as wallpapers, screensavers, ringtones, and even has a short documentary video about the Lamborghini. No word on the price, but I amsure it is quite expensive. However, who knows if these collectors edition cell phones will go up in value over the next few decades.
10. Gresso Luxury Phone
A company named Gresso has entered the luxury mobile phone market. Gresso which appears to be based in Russia have created the aptly named Gresso Luxury Phone. The Gresso Luxury Phone is made of gold and African Blackwood. It may have been a good idea for Gresso to check up on the properties of the materials they use before making a phone out of a wood known for its brittleness. Another interesting point is the size of the screen which looks completely out of proportion. It is interesting how many companies are trying to get into the same market as Vertu
