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.
Nokia 8800 Arte with pink diamonds
$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
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
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.
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
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
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.

THAT mobile you wont forget in WC =)
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?).
what is the point
Why would you need diamonds in your cell phone your probably going to drop it anyways!
Q. what is the point
A. Because they can.
Q. Why would you need diamonds in your cell phone your probably going to drop it anyways!
A. its replaceble
thats corny
not worth it..
i could find many other uses for that money. i would help many many people in the USA that are living in poverty.
yeah okay this cell phone is plain out retarted yeah maybe paris hilton could afford it but wow that is the most pointless phone in the world i would have to say
wow my lg chocolate looks better all i would have to do is throw some fake diamonds on it and it would look ten times better then that phone could..
poor people talk like most of you guys until you can afford it, SHUT UP !!!!
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!!!!!!
fartsy….
Nolia entry model 1100, which comes for $40 is better!!
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?!)
I think its a jwellery than a cell phone.I would prefer to have 365 top tech phones for everyday for an year than that.coz i dont like jwellery.
use money for better cause
that is one sweet phone but it is a stinkin waste of money. I could buy a house instead of that
ugly phone…
my pda looks better than this crap,,,
all i gotta is put some 50 cent bling bling on it and sell it for 2 million stupid cheap bastard dont know me…
i wont even pe pe on this 1.3 million dollar crap.. for my piss i want 2 million dollar phone bye…. die soon..
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.
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.
yeh. this phone is still retarted. waste of time,, and money.
freaken sweet phone!! but a waste of money u can get a way better one and then something else for what it costs…. but its still pretty sweet!!
awwww i like that phone it’s cute
if u like the phone then better buy it jus dont bark like a dog
if i had the money i would definitely buy TWO of those iphones… whats wrong with being rich and enjoy your richness?
