Guinness Names World's Most Expensive Cell Phone
So a tip of the hat to GoldVish, a Swiss company that has designed the Guinness-certified most expensive cell phone in the world. The $1.2 million 'LeMillion' cell phone is cast in 18k white gold and encrusted with 120 carats of diamonds. Otherwise, the 'LeMillion' is a perfectly unexceptional feature phone. Bluetooth, 2-gigabytes of storage, MP3 playback, an FM radio, and, of course, a digital camera.
Check out the gallery for some more absurdly priced (and often gaudy) handsets.

If money were no object to me, I'd rather have a "cheap" cell phone with $1.2 million worth of features, rather than this piece of crap!

Ugh. That's one ugly cellphone.

If I had 1.2 million to spend it sure as hell would not be on a cell phone! What a waste. I'll take my perfectly unexceptional cell phone that I use for calling AAA or other emergencies.
But, I don't even have enough time to list the other really great things I could buy with all that money - not to mention helping others!

Pave and smaller diamonds are never worth as much as a larger diamond. They cost too much to set.
Maybe this phone doubles as a file-type diamond blade saw?

If I had "all the money in the world" I'd buy it, talk on it while driving, then throw it really hard out the window on the freeway in a frustrated tirade. Then I'd go buy another one!

My cell cost $19.95 prepaid, works fine and I use it only if is neccessery, I don't like to have all day in my ears radiation. And if I will need something better I will not pay more that $200 even if tomorrow I hit the lotto JP

Let's see, How 'bout for 1.2 Mil., I buy a $20.00 Nokia, hire some cute little assistant for $40K a year to answer it for me. Invest my 1.2 Mil even in a CD, which would earn $60K a year at 5%, and I have something much more impressive and it doesn't cost me anything. In fact, I would still be making money on my investment.

Damn.........where's my phone?
AvianWondersTLC @ Jan 31st 2008 1:20AM
1.2 million huh? And to think, I was p*ssed off after I recieved that Nokia N75 that I paid $300 for and then realized it was a piece of sh*t. Gee don't I feel stupid now.
