Most Expensive Cell Phones in the World

Written by: tom Filed Under: Electronics, Fashion, Luxury, World on October 8th, 2006

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.

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.

4. Sony Ericsson Black Diamond
$300,000

The price of this phones 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.

World's Most Expensive Cell Phones - Vertu Signature Cobra

3. Vertu Signature Cobra
$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.

2. The Diamond Crypto Smartphone
$1.3 million

World’s most expensive cell phone

One candidate for world’s most expensive cell phone is the Diamond Crypto Smartphone, created by luxury accessory producer Peter Aloisson of Moscow-based JSC Ancort. Its price stems from the platinum body, the cover adorned with 50 diamonds—including eight which are rare blue diamonds. Additionally, the Ancort logo and the navigation key are made of 18k rose gold.

Built on the Windows CE, this most expensive cell also features a high-resolution color TFT display and a 256 bit cryptographic algorithm. This expensive mobile phone is capable of SMS, MMS, E-mail, Internet, WAP, JAVA support and also has a media player.

    The Vertu phones at least are upgradeable. They are also owned by the largest mobile phone company in the world (Nokia). So, considering the facts, I would prefer the Vertu phones. There’s also a Vertu phone with platinum casing and diamonds (though probably not blue diamonds?).

  12. Posted by brag 13th March, 2007 at 11:51 pm

    I think it’s not worth it at all. I could get ten million more posh looking cell phones rather than having ONE CELL PHONE that looks DUMB!!!!!!

    Nolia entry model 1100, which comes for $40 is better!!

  15. Posted by Maddie 22nd March, 2007 at 4:29 pm

    I must admit, the shape of this phone is quite like the shape one of the old Nokia phones. That had better qualities as well.. I’m sure if you wanted to throw some diamonds on that, it would be more useful and why is it called the crypto smartphone???
    Can it break all codes and ciphers? Or do your cooking, clean your house or something useful and helpful like that?
    The phone is so not worth it…
    (to the sad people who buy the phone: what is your problem?!)

    What is the point. Alot more good could be done with that money. we need to help the people in need. not spend money on stuff like this.

  21. Posted by hermione704 2nd May, 2007 at 10:48 am

    The idea of that phone is so stupid. I mean no one would actually want to use it. Personally I would rather have a mint chocolate or an iPhone because they are worth the money. This phone is just dumb.

  22. Posted by ur2babies 8th May, 2007 at 11:00 am
