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 ...
