Over at CNN.com there's an article about luxury mobile phones like the Vertu line we're so familiar with here, but they also mention Peter Aloisson, an Austrian craftsman who pimps about three phones per year with gold, platinum, and jewels at a cost of mroe than $30,000 each. Now he's working with a special order for a "German manufacturer" (Ryan over at Engadget has a pretty good guess who the mystery company is) on a phone with solid gold parts and "an exterior covered with 2,590 natural blue diamonds, some of the rarest jewels on Earth." The price tag on the promotional phone will be over $1 million.
