If you thought the Vertu wasn't quite fancy enough, get ready, according to this article, Vertu is creating diamond handsets. There will be 200 phones decorated with diamonds and they plan to ship the first of the diamond handsets next week. The phones are handmade at the company's headquarters near Hook in Hampshire, and are already pre-sold. The phone features eight carats worth of pavé set diamonds. The keypad itself is in a body of white gold (or platinum) and has ruby bearings and ceramic. The $88,300 phone comes with just a one year warranty. I couldn't locate a picture of the new phone so we'll just have to imagine the regular phones all blinged up.
