A new
iPhone 3G has been unleashed on the world, but before you camp outside your nearest retailer for two weeks in the rain, there's one thing you should know --
it costs $2.5 million.
The King's Button iPhone 3G, designed by Peter Aloissonis, is probably the world's most expensive iPhone for these reasons:
- The main button is actually a 6.6 Carat diamond
- The casing is made of 18 Carat Yellow Gold, White Gold and Rose Gold
- The border around the phone consists of 138 finely cut diamonds.
While we see this as the epitome of excess, we understand it's probably just right for some people. We call them "rappers." For more expensive phones, check out our gallery below. [From:

Antbody who pays 2.5million for a phone is a FRIGGING IDIOT, and needs to have caretaker to watchover them so they won't waste their money on frivilous shlt.

So sad, there are millions of people starving around the world and we have diamond covered phones for sale! Who would pay $2.5 million for a phone?

Only $2.5 million! I'll take two please...oh and who is going to insure this phone when I loose it at the mall?

Ditto what Bill said, you gotta be an idiot to pay that for anything other than a home

Any moron who would pay $2.5 million for a CELL PHONE when there are people who have lost their jobs and healthcare deserve to be arrested, along with the other capitalist pigs who have destroyed the global economy with their greed. TPA says put the greedy on trial, LIVE ON THE INTERNET. Listen to the plan. Email it to sensible people. Get involved.

I doubt even rappers will go for those tacky things. Probably see a lot of them in places like Bahrain, Dubai and Kuwait City.

Hello, Ms. Hilton? Yes your iphone has arrived.

Cell phones seem to be upgraded weekly, but perhaps this one is so advanced it will last three weeks until obsolete. This is one deal that proves P.T. Barnum correct - there is a sucker born every day.

I have a question for TPA. If I am super wealthy and I bail out 20 families and put them back on their feet with everything that they need. I mean I pay off their mortgages and all debts and give them bank accts. to buy food with and med. insurance etc. The never have to worry again. After I am all finished doing this I go out and buy me a couple of these $2.5 mil. phones. but I never tell anyone that I was the one that helped out those other people and tell them they cannot say anything as well. I have worked hard all my life and my company has employed many many people. Now I ask you am I a "moron that deserves to be arrested" have I destroyed the global economy with my greed? Should I not be able to do what I want with my money? Why should you have any say in where my money goes? I am just askin! Want to know where your thoughts come from and why you use a single view to cover all? If I had not been that "capitalist" I would not have been able to help those 20 people and what about all the ones I never told you about?? What happened in your life to make you so angry and apparantly bitter at people who made some money and did not rely on others for handouts?? How am I to help others if I sit back and do nothing? I am not upset with you I am just asking you questions because I don't know how you think and I would like to hear your ideas.
