Tiffany Unveils $85,000, 400-Diamond Cell Phone
If there's one company on Earth that could have given LeMillion a run for its money, it would be Tiffany. So were were a little disappointed to hear that the luxury product retailer''s first foray into the cell phone market costs only $94,000. The more than 400 tiny diamonds are 20 carats, and will help the phone blaze along at 3G speeds on the super fast data network of Japan's Softbank Mobile network.
Little else is known about the phone other than a launch date of February (in Japan), but judging by most other "luxury" handsets, its probably a diamond encrusted piece of crap that will find itself to be obsolete in the not too distant future. (Let's just hope that Softbank and Tiffany offer on-request gut renovations, as rival luxury phone maker Vertu does, so that users can update the handset's innards when they want to be up-to-date).

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.

The World's Most Expensive Tech Toys
If you happen to be the lucky – and as yet unnamed -- Indiana native who just bought yourself a winning $314 million Powerball ticket, you're in luck: PC World has compiled an excellent photo gallery you might find interesting given your new net worth.
The list of the world's most extravagant technology products is a diverse assortment that includes some pretty cool stuff, as well as some pretty lame stuff. For example, if we were in the market for a new mansion, we'd definitely fill it up with things like a $100,000 projector, a $20,000 media server and that amazing $7,500 per year DirecTV package that would get us every single channel, movie and pay-per-view event.
Of course, then there's the gold-plated, diamond-encrusted garbage that even Donald Trump would have trouble defending the purchase of. The worst offenders on the list are the $18,000 cell phone, the $1 million laptop (which can only be started when you insert a special diamond) and a $30,000 computer mouse (pictured).
Then again, now that you're a millionaire 314 times over, you shouldn't have to point and click like the rest of us little people.
